    Dzhon Race. TIGER 1 Tamiya 1/35

    Dzhon Race. TIGER 1 Tamiya 1/35

    Si & Steve's Animal Antics GB: Oct 2019 - March 2020 Chat thread.

    In general - no. However there are the odd reported accounts of captured Tigers being used for short periods after capture until they broke down or damaged beyond use. This is because they were so technically advanced it was difficult to acquire spare parts. They were also taken back to HQ for...

    Suitable field gun for universal carrier?

    These might help Andy If you are after the weird and wonderful the Germans commandeered loads of them when they over ran France. I am sure you could do one towing a PAK 37 or 38 in German colours. This one has an AA gun on it! Look forward to seeing the build Steve
