Hi fellas.

Looking for an engine to put into the back of a King Tiger? hoping t find something second hand or perhaps with a bit of damage that can be patched up.
Cheers Paul. :wink:

Hello Paul,

have you had a look at East Coast Armory ?. They offer the HL210 & HL230 P30 engines to different standards as well as the bay accessory parts. Maybe interesting for you ?

Good luck and regards from Cologne,

Uwe

Hi Paul, Uwe Is correct, I offer several versions of the Maybach HL230 including the cyclone air cleaner version for the King tiger. I also offer the engine as a half set which is only the top half and is deigned for use in engine bays, This version is cheaper than the complete detailed engine kit.

Hi John, the engine is fantastic, but I am slightly concerned by the size 9 boots sticking out in the background !

I looked at the German site, Peddinghaus, and could find no reference to a 1/6th Maybach engine, tried searching, but nothing. :(
