The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

gentlemen-

i am considering building my tiger as the "first tiger" - the V1
as shown on page 41 (germany's tiger tanks). before i do, i'm trying to find out what happened to this particular vehicle. did it see action? was it disassembled during testing? any insights would be appreciated. there's no real rush, as i am in the zen modeling
phase (still doing it in my head)

oh, by the way; my turret has a "115" stamped on the underside, and an "01" in ink or grease pencil on the rear surface. what do these numbers mean.

Welcome Raymond. It sounds like you have a early tiger. If it's stamped under the turret. My tiger was number 88 . Armortek built 127 of these kits .. Raymond is the model you have built or still in kit form ?? Dale

thanks for your response...

the tank is as unassembled as you can get. with my job, i've got the money (yipee!), but not the time (sigh).

Hi Raymond,

I used to know what that was like, now I don't have money or time!

Sorry I can help with the info you want on the first tiger V1, I would say your task is nigh on impossible, as the info on production tigers is very sparse, never mind the prototypes.
