Thanks for the detailed backgrounds on the Dragons which you've added to your collection, chascbv.
It always adds colour and dimension to the particular model if you can find out a bit about it. The last Dragon which I bought a few days ago was the hybrid Tiger which I posted on the " Dragons in the UK " thread. This Tiger, which belonged to s.Pz.Abt.506 was stationed in the Ardennes in 1944, so presumably took part in the offensive.
I've had a close look at the detailing on the model, and it all looks fine to me except for the tracks. On close inspection, and comparing it to model no : 60002, the Tiger 1 of s.Pz.Abt 502, you notice that the tracks are much wider and seem to conform to the standard tracks for a winter operation. If this is indeed a representation of a Tiger which took part in the Ardennes Offensive in 1944 was the original vehicle left in this camo scheme, or was it given its coat of white at some stage?
Compare the pics! Even Whittman's Tiger has narrow tracks..not winter ones. The 311 has narrow tracks. The Hybrid has winter tracks! Are they messin' with our minds?
