Grossdeutschland Division King Tigers

Post by Saxondog »

Hello all, Some of you may know that I model Grossdeutschland Armor and have tracked down many pictures including the ones of my TIGER S13 from the 13th company of Grossdeutschland's first Tigers, I have taken a liberty with my Jagdpanther as the one reference picture is from a model box art and it is Dec1944, but mine is of the shipment of 10 received in Feb.1945 by the Fuhrer Grenadier Division.

Next up is a King Tiger which came from the only KT UNIT in Grossdeutschland Division which was formed in late 1944. I have only found reference to the Company, the dates, and the delivery of the KT's to the unit. I know how they were to be numbered but nothing about their Paintwork or any details of the KT's delivered. http://members.shaw.ca/grossdeutschland/tigers.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So here is the question open for discussion, does anyone have any information about the GD King Tigers? I can establish only that they did receive them but need any reference any one may have concerning these tanks.How they were painted, even if they were new or rebuilt KT's from earlier production. I would really like to know if it was possible that maybe one of these KT's were a Porsche version. Any help,idea's or links would be great and a big help in my next build.

Thanks Saxondog
