In Kentucky for a while for work, so i drove today to the Patton Armor Museum at Ft. Knox. Here is a King Tiger with a finished interior that is on display, Hope you enjoy the pics. More pics to come.
awesome shots geoff, thanks for sharing em.
Now I see where Tamiya gets its turret numerals from. [(-D] My King Tiger from Tamiya had the very same 332 numbers in the exact colors on its decal sheet.

That particular tank was abandoned in the Ardennes in December 1944 due to lack of fuel. There are some references out there, but I have forgotten them and the MSN search didn’t yield useful results. I think it was part of Peiper’s task force. I hope someone more knowledgable about this tank chimes in.
Semper Fi,

Intresting, the Tamiya instructions have it in the ambush pattern. Was this one repainted after the war?
Don’t forget they have a virtual tour too, almost like walking around the museum on your PC, well, kind of.
I wanna go there!!
