thanks frank i have heard of the "Gruppe fehrmann" a bit of an oddball one

[oz]

see that pic shows anything can sort of go as that tiger has the early cupola and PZIII stowage bin with late tracks and wheels
not seen that one before nice find OZ
Any idea on reported unit markings?

it seems this particular tiger belonged too IX kompanie Hummel of s.pz-abt 506, unit markings ranged from full too no markings at all, just over 50 tigers were retro fitted using parts from other tiger variants, you could have a lot of fun with somthing like this!!!!  here is a pic of a fehrmann tiger.

hi oz
        the rubber zimmerit isnt the best way to do it, but its the easiest, i have used it on my late Tiger 1, and the trick to get a good finnish with it is patience, make sure you key both surfaces, on the tank, and on the zimmerit, use the glue wot comes with the zimm' once its on, trim any excess rubber off, then use super glue around the edges, then use a primer around the edges before you paint you tank, if you look at my Tiger you can see what its like, it takes awhile, but the easiest way to get zimm' on your tank.
where can you get a wsn Tiger? i never new they made them :-\, i would want the turret from one, as from what ive read here they are more accuratley scaled than a HL turret
