Ive been having a play with my Torro Tiger 1, full strip and re build ready for the tank meet on 19th im not touching the electronics until I see what others have done but the cosmetics are nearly finished, so I thought id take advantage of the snow for a quick photo shoot

Yes it is though at about this time he was in a hospital before coming back to action in Oct 44

The camo scheme is taken from the plates of Jean Restayn and are as accurate as I could get though all the top work is pretty much guess work it seemed that they used an extended 'Y' shape as the basis
