Mmm.
I really like the colour contrast of the yellow outlined blue numerals on the camo. Having seen Reaper's excellent late Tiger with the third company's numbering I may still go for that option.
Tiger 1 Early Taigen,
Tiger 1 Mid Torro,
Tiger 1 Late Taigen,
King Tiger Taigen (P)
Jagdtiger Torro
King Tiger (H)
King Tiger Torro (H)
Tiger 1 late Torro
Panther G Taigen

That looks very good indeed.
From the reference pictures I have seen that looks authentic as it's a mid production with full road wheel set up. :thumbup:

It's just the base Heng Long. No mods yet. I'd probably have to make some changes to make it authentic. Like removal of the smoke discharges and the like....

Yes indeed Mr C. :D

I searched around for decals and paint masks and in the end decided to do the tank that Michael Wittman drove over to Normandy in June 1944 - tank number 205. Just need the battalion crests for the front and rear to complete the markings....
