Had a project with me for ages waiting for its owner to make his mind up on what he wanted.
He painted it as 105 in STAVELOT during the Bulge , this one was abandoned after reversing into a building.
I also hand a new KT V7 that I was deciding what to do with for years too, so he agreed to a swap.
Paint job I couldn’t do , blank canvas restart for him.
No money involved :thumbup:

I will get it looking a bit more me and see if my builders block goes away

When Königstiger 105, commanded by SS-Obersturmführer Jürgen Wessel, was struck by bazooka fire, the driver reversed into the debris of a house and got stuck. The crew abandoned the tank on Rue St. Emilion in Stavelot, Belgium. Wessell jumped on the next tank and continued west towards Trois Ponts.

Ive walked this exact spot so its another sense of connection for me!

The Bulge theatre is very condensed and easy to cover by car or on foot.
Full of interesting locations, not just Easy Company ones !

Reading the "Duel in the Mist" series of books has been an expensive hobby for me, I wish your wallet luck...

A lot of fine details about the crew, specifically the driver and the fate of other King Tigers in Stavelot at the time
