Default Let the Tiger do it

Unloading at shows is a pain. Might as well make the Tiger work.

That's a great photo. The Tiger is huge compared to the Stuart!

The Stuart is a 21st Century that I customized to suit me. The Stuarts came ready to run. They stopped making them about 2 years ago. The trailor is made of (mostly) left over pvc pipe from a garden project. The Tiger is an Armortek, which is a kit out of Enland.

It's 1/6 scale, not 1/16 - aka "DAP has deep pockets"

Oh, I see now in his sig that DAP models 1/6. I really want a 1/16 Stuart and a 1/16 Panzer IIIE. I think the light tanks are too cool, but everyone else likes the heavies.

Me too! I'd love to have a HA-GO or a Type 97 for the Sherman to chase around.

In German armor, I like the Marder III.

Panther F,

That is a cool little runner, it would be good to get a few of these smaller tanks like this and the Stuart on the IR Battle fields! What do you think,, 3 hits and they are out? It would be good to use them as your LRRP Armor unit!!!

The Blitz
