Very nice artwork, however unless new photos of 007 have emerged showing it’s mantlet, normal convention says that for a befhels tiger it’s a blanked off/plugged co-ax hole in the mantlet. Then had zimm applied over it with the rest of vehicle. So this mod would be hidden. On some ‘early’ build befhels tigers without zimm you could see the ring of weld on the mantlet where the plug was fitted.  This is because they didn’t carry a co-ax mg there and had one of the additional radios in its place. 

 

This kit seems to offer a befhels version going off of the extra antennas and the 007 marking of the tank. I wonder if there is a mantlet in the kit to provide a proper plugged befhels option, or just one ‘gun tank’ mantlet. Saying that it easy enough to do yourself if you’re going to (read ‘should’) zimm it. 

Its a case of whether people are aware they need to do it.  

Guess it’s hopefully like dragons old 3 in 1 tiger kit which could be late/final/befhels. 

 

Cracking price though! Seeing as dragon tigers are an eye watering 70 ish notes nowadays. 

 

Remember buying a new 3 in 1  dragon tiger for £29.99 from modelzone several years ago.

Some French Farmer has got half Wittmann's Tiger in his barn.

 

A docu recent on History Channel looks like the Canadians did him from about 400 yards with Sherman 75mm from behind a wall.
