discussion 1/87 Tigers on the Prowl

[Steve Jones]

Great idea Paul. Lots more space to fill now though. Should keep you out of trouble for a little while longer:smiling6::smiling3:

 

[Guest]

Nice buddy, I spy a nice building on the floor to the left :smiling:

Thanks Steve, indeed. Yes Dzohn, part of Tigers on the Prowl II w/Tiger IIs.

 

[PJR]

Even better! Looks very ambitious Dad!

 

[minitnkr]

How about this config.? Thoughts?

That's a lot of firepower my friend both in the air and on the ground. If this is a unit on the move, perhaps a few kubels and a motorcycle or two...

I wouldn't want to come up against this unit on any street Paul. :smiling2: Rick's suggestion is good.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks for your suggestions. Most soft stuff is currently allocated to other units in storage. I should have some kubles, schwimmers & kettens nearly completed to add to this dio. Mix of JagdTigers & JagdPanthers was influenced by recent reading about late war heavy anti-tank groups. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

Found these unallocated softies in the stash in various states of completion. Should be able to include some.

Good looking stuff, ought to do you proud!:thumb2:

Working schwimmers & ketten. Ignore the 250/5 as it's C&C for an SP nebelwerfer project. PaulE

Nice late 250 Paul. Really like the way this is going.
Rick H.

 

[PJR]

I like it too! Late war German TO&Es were pretty meaningless anyway, tattered remnants of this or that unit linking up and splitting up all the time, so the sky's the limit.

 

[Steve Jones]

Kettens are small at the best of times but at this scale that is true miniature madness:cold-sweat:. Great stuff Paul!!

 

[minitnkr]

Now that the dio base is broken-in I'll revisit this. Will have to review what I have left to do on the Tigers & Jagdpanthers. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

Sounds like a plan...Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

After some research decided on Heavy 501 w/mix of Tigers I & II w/supporting AAA. Prolly two short platoons of three each. Will use mid version ROCO Tiger Is w/Heiser conversion kits to late version. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

Been there, done that. My first late Tiger conversion was with the old H&K kit, as the far superior Heiser kits were not available yet. Yours will turn out much better. Looking forward to seeing these under way. Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Might be a bit. My battery eating camera finally ate the last of my AAs & my laptop doesn't recognize my phone camera memory as a remote source for some reason. Will consult grandaughter for IT support. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

Found some AAs, so here ares a couple progress pics.


C&Cs welcomed. PaulE
