Greetings from over the Clyde (Dunoon) or Derby, depending on the the day of the week or weekend.

I know Dunoon well, family there. Not been the same since the base went.
Tell me, how's Jim Crow, painted out or repainted?

Bizarre... I get the Jim Crow historical reference, but doubt many of the locals meant anything racist by it. For me it was where my dad posed for pics in the 50's and I did in the 80's and 90's...

Yup, buying one of Tom's tanks is always the quick way to gaining a beautiful, well researched, amazing model. He's sold some beauties in the past. I'm still kicking myself for not snatching up a Panther of his! It was beautiful! Anyway, nice job!
Cheers,
Eric.
Yeah, when I think what I would have paid on a new Tamita Tiger, was a no brainer...
Here they are in all their glory.

I had missed it in the still photos you put up earlier: that Königstiger has the Befehlpanzer antenna. Now that's an added bonus!
