Hi Chris,I purchased the two Tamiya King Tigers from Bubbajoexx.He was very generous with after market parts,even adding a gearbox for the second tank.One is complete less detail parts which he included on the sprue's.The second tank has all the detail parts but needs The turret assembled and has no Drive,Idler sprockets or tracks.Here is the link,cheers Blake http://rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/viewt ... f=1&t=5190" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm still in shock,I posted a King Tiger on E-BAY I was considering.Well all my forum mates said don't it's to old,ect.ect. and then Bubbajoexx(Joseph)in Canada made me an offer I could not refuse.cheers Chris,I am still following your build with renewed interest, Blake

Chris,what numbers do you need? And which color? I have quite a few and can make more if need be.I have some in 1/16 and 1/18 for King Tigers,do you have a unit you have decided on? I would be happy to post some to you,it is not difficult for me and cost very little to send an envelope to the UK, i'm sure you could do a fine job painting the numbers but if you prefer decals I have them.The white unit and vehicle markers are the same as the black ones and show fine once applied.
