Good Morning.
The Taigen Tigers look good. One question. Have they corrected the barrel length on these tanks? The Mantlet orientation looks right. Are they just using an old pic to illustrate?
Thank you,
Painless

Hi Painless,
Best to ask Jim here http://www.jwgtoystore.co.uk/storepage1151567.aspx

I've no idea myself, nor would it bother me. I am far from being a rivet counter. ;)

Good Morning,
Thank you, Second Childhood. I'll find a better pic of them. :o) I agree, not a complete accuracy fellow myself but for some reason, HL's earlier models with shortened gun tubes just for shipping purposes always niggled at me. Some examples were the Tiger1 with partial recoil shape and length and the Pershing. The Tiger I corrected with one of the popular aluminum sleeve fixes and the Pershing I painted and there after just left alone. HL is just getting better and better I will say :o)
Regards,
Painless

Hi Painless,
No problem.

I have purchased one of those tanks, so if you want to wait, I will take some photos once it has arrived. Then you can make your mind up. It won't be for another 10 days or so though.

Good Afternoon.
Thank you, Sir. I'm in no hurry. I'm in Motorpool mode, fixing and upgrading what I have so far. My next fun item allowed will likely be one of those 1:16 RC White's halftracks out there now.
Regards,
Painless
