Hi all,
Here a few pics of my Tiger playing in the field next door
:
"Investigate the ground on foot. Take another man piggyback and stand on one leg.
If the ground supports you, it will support the tank." (Tigerfibel, page 39)
Thanks for watchin',

Hi,
The one in the turret says " Go forward men - keep driving"
The one carry the officer says " Good surface for the Tiger"
The last text is from the Tiger Fibel - the instruction book, where it says that if you are unsure the tiger kan drive on the surface, to men (as the picture one carrying the other) should walk/jump, and if they dont break the surface, the tiger can drive as the pressure per cm2 is comparable
cheers
Steen

The base color is Tamiya TS3 and the green camo is a mix of 3 Revell colors (sorry, I can't remember the numbers
)
