1st job already done...turn the cupola

[doc larsson]

Ed,

couldn't see from the pic of the cupola but the barrel is in recoil mode ! then move the aeriel to the right position, then add covers to the pfeifels and chains on the filters,then the tow hook and you run out of money ! What you gonna do with the tiger you got ? I'm thinking of doing a stalingrad tiger..all white. this is costing me money arghh !

I'm thinking of doing a stalingrad tiger

I am not aware of any Tigers being at Stalingrad.

After the defeat, the 2nd company of s.Pz.Abt. 502 were sent into the region as an emergency measure, but they didn't get close to the city. They had grey Tigers with unique turret bins.

tiger at Stalingrad! wow that's new to me!!

[doc larsson]

I thought mannstein tried to force a breakthrough to Paulus at Stalingrad ? I just assumed tigers would have been used ?

The Tigers of the 502 and 503 battalions fought in the area from the first week in January.
