Yes - that's what I am trying to say. Or do you mean 2nd company was Jagdtigers too but without numbers? Because I understood 2nd company to be Elefants.

Terry the 2nd company was supposed to receive 5 of these beasts. But they never got them ???( no record of them having been engaged in combat on the front line) . Sorry I got a bit lost; I was doing some research on the 654th Schwere Panzer Abteilung and got a bit distracted and confused between all the numbers 653,654 and 512.......

Hi Guys..It does indeed begin to look like the KC. Jagdtiger 302 was from Panzerjaeger Abt 653 who saw action in and around Neustadt....It would have been great to know just what happened with this vehicle and its crew?..but that is probabaly lost to history!!. At least i now know what sort of Buildings/Houses i have to build when i eventually get round to putting this Beast into a Diorama...And i have again learned a little more over the confusing German Vehicle numbering system (thanks Jager 7080 + Terry) Yes i had also hoped for the vehicle of Otto Carius
but i still love the 302!!!
