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...
