hi there rocket

not done much ti the tiger p at all this week ... just been getting info together even the old italeri kit for reference /?
i have also done a small amout of work on the super pershing ,, just a bit of extra detail and a bit of paint .. pics tomorow

i have also been looking at the buldog ... and have come up with a fantastic idea for that .. and will keep stum about that for a few days .but a clue

its modern .. well sort of  1960s  more like the 70s and deff the 80s ... its about time the leopard had a running mate !,, i think it may still be used by germany and holland ?

i have several pershings .. and have been looking at useing the bits for something else ... but there way too may choises .. so i may keep that simple .. lol yea right

also still have a brumbar on the back burner .... and  the  p4 conversion to a grasshoper .... a strumtight to paint ....oh and muct finishs the m1a3.... mine plow

I had the 1:32 Revel/Monogram kit of the M55 many many years ago.
Even in that scale it dwarfed my 1:35 collection

really love the work you have done so far, an interesting project whichever you decide to do in the end, although it will be great if you could do both typesfor the upper hull, as I think if memory serves correct that both tanks had the same lower hull, I think there were about 70 elefants/ferdinands built on the chassis, just in time for Kursk although I think the ferdinand version came about after Kursk?
