Darryl missed a bit.... "Then will he strip his sleeve and show his stash. And say ‘These Kits I had on traveling day.’ Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he’ll remember with advantages What purchases were made, that day: then shall the names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Tamiya, Takom, Border and Meng, Airfix and even Italeri, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d. This story shall the good man teach his son; Of the wonders, of the Hobby shop...."

If in any doubt, just buy 2 👍

Not in a Limbo contest

Crews would weld a patch onto any deep or penetrating shell hit. There's photos of one of the "S" Tigers of Das Reich with one on, and other photos with larger patches welded on.

Tamiya... Trumpeter... Trumpeter...

Great kit !! I have 2 in the stash, but not for this GB.... I'm still wearing my little panties....

Must be local council workers...

That’s really nice !! Didn’t they mount one of these on a Bradley or Abrams chassis at one time ?

And while we’re on Bad Generals, take a look at Douglas McArthur. There’s a Truly bad General that was praised at being Great lol.

The 101st Airborne claim they didn’t require relief. They were doing fine on their own.

Edited/deleted for wrong information. 102 did have a Command Tiger with similar camouflage.

Great looking tow-rope and chicken, there, Darryl !! 🤔😂👍

Leave your sexual proclivities out of it, Keith !! 😂 Your’re lowering the pare-excellence of the clientele 🤔😂

This is 217... photo's for reference only... Notice the missing Zim, and the overpainting in the camouflage colors.

Sections of the wing had to be filled and sanded, for the areas that received putty. Basically everything in front of the gun access panels. I used Tamiya putty, and probably would have been better off using stretched Sprue and super glue.

The seat adjustment bars and springs were added. As well as the hot air pipe/ducting, at the sides. Probably won’t even be seen.

Looking good, Keith !! 👍

Yup. Still not missing near enough 😂

The main cockpit walls and tub are ready for primer and paint.

The seat appeared to have either a pad, or survival pack ?? This was added from Milliput.

Though Dust Jest !! Good Sir !! 😂👍

A few wires have been added, and few areas enhanced.

Made a tentative start on the cockpit, but the detail is actually not that bad.

Looking at photos of Carius’ 217, Takom does not supply the vertical front hull plates, with the missing Zimmerit. I’m wondering how easy/hard it would be to scrape off the Zim on the Takom kit. Ron Volstad seems to depict the areas correctly, for the most part. Right of the drivers vision block has practically no Zimmerit left, at all. I have not posted the actual photos, as I’m not sure who owns them.
