Re: Hobbymaster 1/48th King Tiger ; Opinions ?

Once again chaps, many thanks for all your advice & opinions !!!!!!!!!
wmosner; thanks for supplying the pix - far better than the ones on the dealers website

I was suprised to see (in amongst them) the "La Gleize" King Tiger No.213

It says on the vendors website, that this actual vehicle was commanded by "Oberst Helmut Dollinger" - which came as a suprise when I found-out that it's known WHO the actual crew/commander was !!!!!!!!!! (Impressive).

I've actually visited '213' over a ten-year interval (1993 - 2003) so it came as a suprise to find that the colours on the model are somewhat different from how 'she's displayed nowadays - I presume some old pix were used to influence the colour-scheme portrayed on the model ???????????

Looks nice, anyhow (but being honest, I like her 'current' scheme better !)

I've attached two shots that I took in May '93 & two shots that I took in July '03
(as I said, Ten years apart !!!!!!!!!!!)

Thanks again for those infuential replys !!!!!!!!!!!
