I believe you may be thinking of the King Tiger (or Tiger II) which had either the Porsche or Henschel turrets in the first production tanks. The Henschel design was chosen and all vehicles continued with this design after the Porsche turrets were used up.


The Tiger 1 only had the one turret which was designed by Krupp to carry the 88mm gun. Porsche did however submit a design for the chassis, but again used the same Krupp turret.


Patrick - Beautiful work on the Tiger, the camouflage and the pin wash is very well done. When this gets it's flat coat it will look amazing (armour models always look a bit toy-like with the gloss coat on) and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.

Hi Patrick


Any news on the Tiger? Seems like you weren't too far away from completion and I'm looking forward to seeing this big kitty finished.

Hi Paul,


Well ... I'm in the process of moving house at the moment & everything is packed away. Trouble is, due to unforeseen snags it's taking way longer than I expected


So I might unpack a few bits & return to this one!

I'm with Paul, Patrick!


I'm wishing to see this excellent item finished and your next build as well
