That is an interesting specimen. Do we know how it was knocked out? The spare track holder looks sheared off. And is that possibly a cleaning rod wedged between the other spare tracks? Looks like they whitewashed it and the rear spare turret tracks as well. H'mmmHERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Sat May 24, 2025 11:12 pm https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/two-am ... gium-1945/

Per Greg Walden's book "Tigers in the Ardennes", it was knocked out by a tank destroyer west of Vielsalm, probably around 30th December. He also notes "No light and shadow pattern dots. turret numbers appear to be the same shade as 332 (i.e. Blue with Yellow outline), part of the hull appears to have a coat of whitewash paint".

Great looking tank I only hope when I build mine I will be happy if it turns out half as good as yours.

Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute.
You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.
Re: Hello as New Member
Thank you for the welcome
Re: Hello as New Member
Welcome. Nobody will harass you too much for being a railroad guy. Now being a Tiger guy...that's a whole other ballgame...
I don't personally own any Tiger tanks unless you count my Sturmtiger. Nothing against them per say, just don't own one out of the 40+ tanks I have built or started building.

Model railroad, you say? I am CEO and CFO of the 800+ square foot Golden Prairie Railroad, U.S. O Gauge. What's it to an addict?
Re: Hello as New Member
My railway layout is a internal one and nothing like the size of garden layouts but your layout does sound great fun.
Re: Hello as New Member
Thank you for posting the above that is the correct one, I am trying to find as much about it as I can to help me with the final finishing of it. I have not yet received the tank but trying to do as much background research as I can.
Kind regards
John
