Yes 508. This was my first RC tank purchase and led me down this expensive rabbit hole that I love. I do love the Italian campaign camo jobs but the Tiger was just not suited at all to the mountainous terrain and they had the worst kill/loss ratio of all the Tiger Abt's

A little self indulgent. Trying to recreate the the photograph, from this day 1944.

SRY War Diary
28th June 1944
A Sqn was relieved by 4/7 D.G. who with the Inf. were to attack the high ground 1,000yds South of RAURAY, and marked on the maps CONTOUR 110.
Unfortunately Army has claimed our Tiger and Panther, which we had hoped to use against the Germans. However we plastered them with our Bde sign the Fox’s Mask and Regt’l No, 996.

You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.

These are PE brass. So they were manipulated with small pliers, and fingers.
