Thanks Andy.
I want to make my late Tiger 1 a replica of "222" - the tank that Wittman used on the infamous assault on Villiers Bocage.
When Wittman started to advance in his own tank (presumably 205) after a few meters the driver told him the engine was giving problems so Wittman jumped out presumably with his crew and told the commander of 222 to vacate his tank ! Off he went down the lane into Villiers....
I also need a spare track set to mount on the front plate to replicate the tank.
Damn
You lot have got me starting to do mods. I'll be modelling next

I have some spare track if you need it don't forget 222 ended up damaged in all the books I've read and he was in 007 when he was killed by the firefly

Yes I've had read at least 10 books on the Tiger and seen most of the available photos.
It's the 222 I want to replicate.

I might pinch the spare track off the front of the HL version.
I'll have a look on the website you suggest for the stencil.

"The force is strong in this one"
Well done.
rctank.de have the exact stencil set I need including the Battalion badges, the lot.
I hope to replicate a few of the photos in the books, particularly the one where they are waiting in the lane with the tree branch camo over the tank.
