Response to Try this

and is not based on any "real" paper panzer facts. It is a product of the "Rinaldi School of Panzer Design". Cameron--I made the original prototype on my own for fun and a few years later Trumpeter liked it enough to make a kit out of it...the chassis (which is nothing like a King Tiger chassis) will support the resin tracks and any 12.8cm Jagdtiger barrel should do the trick for a metal replacement, same as I used my original one-off. I love how a fictitious design is leading to more fictitious facts. There was no such thing as a "Tiger IIC with a too long barrel...." Also the link and length tracks in the Dragon are nice, but need the ejector pin marks filled, they do a decent job of capturing the look of the near 1 meter wide tracks. The Grille 17cm, not the E100, is based upon a lengthened TII chassis, but only just because the powertrain was mounted in the front. E-100 Ausf. B HTH, Mike
