any one got some info on this tank like what kind of engine it runs on or a background history. [bow]
the Engine was the Maybach HL 210 P45
the history is a long one
theres plenty of link to sites in your “Tiger” thread others have posted
Try the Book A Modellers Guide To the Tiger Tank by Patrick Stansell I finished A King Tiger not to long ago and with the help of that book It really came out great.This book has Everything from history to building techniques to exact items lists and chassis No.s to Model reviews with excellent pictures
I think it is around $30 Somewhere in that range, It may seem like a lot for a small soft cover book, But trust me Its definatley worth the money[;)][yeah]
