Wrong plate.... That ones vertical ;)

 

It's okay. I did find a couple of pix, but anyway.... I digress..

 

 

 

I Just ordered two more of these Mid Trumpeter Tigers, and also a set of Star Decals for Zimmerited Mid's.

I've also started to collect info on Otto Carius' 217. Which was a little bit of an odd duck.

Mid production Tiger, with late notches on the hull side tow pintles, early, non cleated tracks, and a flat Tiger P mantlet.

Those come in the Kit. 
For the cost of the kit I think what you get is excellent. 

I see you've ordered 2 more Lee...how about a pic of the box art so I can make sure I order the correct one 😉 👍

Thanks Lee that'll do nicely 👍. I must learn the difference between horizontal and vertical though I never claimed to be the sharpest guide horn in the pack 🙄. Are you expecting any kits down the chimney mate....🤔
