Great to see this one up as a feature, Pawel put in a lot of effort and it really shows, well done mate!

This optiomises what a late ('46) Tiger B should look like, a beautiful build.

What can I say, I love it.

Very nice work Pawel. I am picturing this on a base travelling down muddy road with a couple of Grenadiers slogging along side. You obviously spent many hours. Great weathering. Rob Liles

Thank you guys. I really appreciate your comments. I must say it was a real pleasure to deal with this build. The late Tigers B are are a kind of mythical (at least to me). In general I prefer (like most of us I think) the painting / weathering stage, but building this vehicle with all those modifications and details gave me an enormous pleasure I can't find since than.

I wanted to thank once more every member of Armorama who helped me with this build and especially James McFarlane and Herbert Ackermans for their continuous support during the whole duration of the project.

Thank you Ron, I'm glad you you liked the blog. One of my goals was to show to people how a late Tiger B can be modelled and what additions/modifications should be done. I just find this very type of tank fascinating.

Hi Pawel
I have only built two KT's in my modeling time, about four years ago. Here are some pics of them.




This on e is an old wreck, not burnt out.





I plan on doing a wrecked Jagdtiger in the future. If I do any built any KT I will be asking you a lot of questions so I do it right.
