Armortek

If you can find it the book "Combat history of Schwere Panzerjager Abteilung 653" has many pictures of Jagdtiger from when the Abteilung converted from Elefant to Jagdtiger, it also has hundreds of pictures of Elefant, be warned this book was a limited release in English and is long out of print so ...

The batteries are located in the front of the hull these go in through the turret ring then the body is attached to the chassis, once the chassis is attached to the hull its not possible to remove the batteries due to the gun mount, batteries are taped together for strength.

All German armour only ever carried x2 MG34T one mounted in the hull the other coax, the use of an ...

Hi Ivano, I have one set for you, when I get home later this evening I will send an email.

Hi John, I will have another batch of MG Mounts ((Fliegerbeschussgerät) very soon I will send you a message when they are available.

To expand on availability of the MG34T these come with the Dragon Bobby Woll and Johann Meiling figures.

This is what I have found on my Saumur disc, Kent may have more.

I have a disk full of pictures of the Saumur Tiger I will have a look this evening their may be a picture.
