having a big gun isn't everything and the ally had projects of their own capable of dealing with a tiger II armor (or simply smash said armor to damage the tank enough). No need for a bigger gun to defeat a up gunned tiger II if the ally could deal with the 8,8cm one normally (or the jagdtiger). Germany would still not have been able to won the war or turn the tide with a 10,5cm gun, the allly would've bomb the factory or devellop counter measures.

I aalso have the hobby boss variant in my stash andread the turret roof has an innacuracy for the takom kit. On the 10,5cm, I don't think the roof need to be corrected since the drawing for it is so rough:

uh I don't think one should forget the ally would devellop counter measures, a JS 2 can still deal with a 10,5cm tiger II and the german logistic would have trouble handling it, there were also prolem with the first proposal. The name porsche turret is also a bit of a myth

Hello, it's a variant I reccall being referenced online from time to time, but I'm not sure where it come, it's usually tied to a mock up too but I'm unsure how reliable this information is because a previous 10cm gun variant was rejected and takom does offer it in its late tiger II variant (I got the kit in my stash). Thanks for your answers!

Hello, it's been a while I haven't posted progress on my border tiger. This year, I'm working on the 3 tone pattern based on 233 pic, speculation and the instruction: I intend to get the takom big box for easter to do the falaise 214 from the box.

Hello, it's been a while I've been on the forum. I advanced on my border tiger 1 by starting painting the tracks. I kepts working on the roadwheels and I placed the turret bin too. I had some trouble with the smoke launchers because my hands shook and my glue wouldn't cooperate sometimes, I did my best there. I'm using a coelian turret to train with the 3 tone scheme:

I had to get parts for my airbrush and I took the opportunity to get this, I think i'll do it as one of those fehrmann tiger we don't have pics of.

Came backe from mundolsheim model exhibition with an unexpected model, the border initial tiger 1. Someone from my club gifted it for me, I'm verry thankful and might do it as 123 in a winter scheme (?).

Hello, here's the advance on my border tiger, I did the hatches, going through the cupola, glued the glacis and front plate. I assembled the engine fans and found border design for sprue B weird because we get 4 engine fans bases (B2/B3) and it look like they inverted A66/A67 in the instruction too. David nickels thread on track link was helpful to build them. I started assembling the loading mechanism but I have issues on where to glue the part and I have to patch the visors too since I glued them before gluying the front plate, since tis could lead to fit issues, I had to unglue them. I test fitted the hull too.

Fellowing David Nickels advices, I glued the hull side first and then the hull rear plate. Here's the result. Test fitted the frontale plate with the upper hull too:

Hello, yesterday I did the suspension, they went together well. I place the G29 parts on the turret and today worked on its interior. Fellowing David Nickels advices, I'm placing the hull rear first and test fitted it.

Started it this afternoon with the 1st steps, a seat and a hatch. I find there are odd stuff about the instructions like step 11, or a lack of indication for the interior colors or where to put the accessories. I'm unsure where to place the G29 parts. Had to putty the hull rear a bit due to a crack (unsure where it's from). Unsure why the corrective sheet say the turret top is G12 when on the sprue it seems to be G2. I think they could've improved it by stating wich steps is corrected.

Hello, this week, I finished my revell/mauve lippish P13A, the second kit I finished this year. It's not perfect, I couldn't eliminate all the silvering and the 2 decals broked while placing them. I got to deal with paint traces on my canopee too (it's the 1st time I'm painting one since a while, before I would only cover them and shaking hand don't help), still satisfied with it. I added a "?" on the company because I'm not sure, the kit was in another box and I got it before it got to the trash. The decals are from my stash.

Since I've actually finnished my 2nd kit of the year (thus completing my objective on the number of kit to finnish this year[still more than last year for me]), tomerow I'll start working on my border early tiger whom I'll o as spz abt 505 233, the what if part being its slightly different configuration(mainly the gun mantlet, it doesn't seem we really know wich one it had) and I might do the barbed wire too. If I take the initial one day, I'll do it as 3 from spz abt 502 since it's the one closest from the box content. This thread will be quite helpful for my build too: https://www.track-link.com/forums/site_blogs/48387 I'll keep working on my meng T90A, my heller soleil royal and maybe my other ongoing project while working on this one

The new one seems to. By covering the tracks, I mean doing this:
