razzie43 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Hi Mike,indeed the kit from dragon goes straight to hell for me... Those lights "Bosch lampen" like my real name are on the wrong place. The Mg gun was way to short. Here are the picture's of those mistakes they make : Add some parts from my Elefant Tiger Edited September 25, 2016 by razzie43 no photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Nicely done.. I'm guessing that is the Henschel prototype seeing it lacks the interleaved wheel that were on the production versions? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razzie43 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi Steve...Porsche Ferdinand make 90 pieces of This prototype and later they use them as Ferdinand elegant Tiger p. So i dont think Henshel was involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
