Hi Jens love it the suspension and the hull front look spot on did you scacth build these or buy them ,If you fitted an I.R. emmitter it the each of the tubes I dont think Steen would want to fight you .Keep up the good work this is briliant for you first scratch build .

The front is build from scacth by a german guy, then I bought it and made some changes to it, the tranmission cover is from the dutch company called skale-line, the suspension is from Tankzone, its just a cover up of the standart HVSS suspension...

Steen, your Tiger will run with its tail between the legs, when my Sherman starts firring those rockets....  :D looking forward to show you on friday....

cheers Jens...
