Smile Re: 1/16 Wittmann road wheels !!!

In March 1944, armour thickness on Tiger turret roofs was increased to 41mm, which left 15mm sticking up above the turret sides. Here's a shot of one ( complete with real-life Normandy scenery ) which shows the effect...



However, I don't think that anyone's figured out when Tiger '007' was actually built, and in the only known photo of the tank, the turret is lying upside down on the ground - so there's no way of telling....I'm very happy to give FOV the benefit of the doubt on this one !

( Congratulations on your 1/16 FOV collection - sadly, reasons of space and money mean that 007 will be the only one I'll be getting...)
