It's my wife's favourite, from what I gather... ;D

Uhm... I had a guy that got a stern talking to from a museum director because "...there is no such thing as a Porsche turret! Porsche had nothing to do with the King Tiger!" And frankly I don't know. Do I care? Meh...

Maaaybe? Not sure yet. First and foremost I need to get the Firefly and Sherman 105mm back up and running.
NAB wrote:Also what brand?
It's a Heng Long. Full metal running gear, running TK6.0

And speaking of tanks, the buying of tanks and the buying of stuff for tanks... I spent today bringing this lot away for a nice load of cash. How nice? About 5 tanks worth...

Already spent a fair wad of it with Dave at Forgebear getting another Sherman lower hull and duckbill threads for the Firefly...

It's true Krupp designed both turrets but everyone just says Porsche.
