Looking to buy an unbuilt Tiger 2 kit. I'm in the US and prepared to pay shipping from the UK. PM or email me at
bhawkins@mywdo.com and we will figure out the logistics of the deal.
Cheers,
Brown

Mark,
I was very suprised that I was able to get the model. I had given up.
My plan is to have a basic, primed, welded build in short order and get it moving under it's own steam. THEN (or more likely concurrently) I'll start on some of the details. Lots of things to consider such as removable deck plates/turret roof for inside access and to zimmerit or not. I have a particular tank in mind to reproduce and will post more in the future on that.
I also have John Goodes scale engines to install in this and the future T1. A small tube from the smokers into the engine compartment would add a nice touch of realism I think.
The model is on its way now! I still have a lot of house painting to complete before it gets here.

Hi Brown,
Adding a scale engine would make a superb model
I discovered JG's engines too late. Too bad he's not making them anymore, otherwise I'd do the same thing with my Tiger.
I'm also planning to make quick-detachable access covers. I'll probably go with magnetic latches instead of the mechanical latch that I'm testing.
Congrats on your new tank! Be sure to post lots of build photos!
Regards,
Mark
