For what it's worth, when I was trying to buy a defective Pershing to gut and build the cut-away and finally spoke with the dealer in California, I brought up the deficiencies in the Pershing and the Tiger mantlet as well. At her request, I emailed them a listing, suggesting improvements which she said she would translate into chinese and send to them. That was about 3-4 months ago and I haven't heard from anyone, nor seen any changes in the tanks. But, they do have a listing of gross mistakes, with photos of a real Pershing. Maybe when they decide to redo the molds (expensive process) they MIGHT think about it. On the Tiger, maybe we could get a letter off to Generalinspektor der Panzertrupen Heinz Guderian and have his office send them a letter....but I feel we are a bit late.
