Wraith,
Thanks for that
Has anyone posted what the markings are on the front of the new Tiger (right and left front)?
Panzeraces, welcome to the forum. The pictures you are looking for of the new KC Tiger are on page 12 (post #11 and down) of the thread Wraith gave you. The pictures of the Tiger on pg.1 of that thread are NOT the KC Tiger. The KC Tiger does not have the Feifel system on it. I do not know who made the Tiger on pg.1 but it may be a Tamiya model shown elsewhere in the thread. -- lancer
Hi Wraith. On the screen on my computer, pg.1 ends at post #121 and then goes down. Pg. 13 contains post #1 on my computer. Maybe it's one of those driving on the wrong side of the street things? -- AlAl,
Sure you've got that the right way round? The photos at the bottom of page 1 look to be the K&C future release, while the ones Ken posted on page 12, are by his own say so, a scale model.

Was looking through a Russian book I had on Kursk for diorama idea & found these. Perhaps they will be of use to West Front collectors who are a bit lost in the East
a) rolling through a village during the assault-very unique
b) Tigers & halftracks in a column preparing for the advance; I count at least 5 APC's on the right
c) put your truck & Tiger together with the ground crew sold seperately
d) for those who have the old Rommel staff car
e) no figures like these...but it's the first time I saw a German mine clearing crew-thought it was interesting
The symbol on the side of the turret is known as the "Springender Teufel" (Springing Demon or Devil). Will Fey, a veteran of the 8th Tiger company, (and author of Armor Battles of the Waffen-SS) said one of the men of 8th Company, 2.Pz.Regt.Das Reich found a strange metal figure in the streets of Kharkov after the battle in March 1943. He named it Springender Teufel. In April the emblem of the Springender Teufel was adopted as the good luck symbol of the 8th Tiger Co. 2nd Rgmt. 2nd SS Das Reich Division

Does anybody know where I can have a look at the new Tiger. New user today so, just tryinmg to find my way around the site and, how to use everything.
I found another story for the little Demon/Devil that appears on the sides of the Das Reich turrets,the Emblem originally belonged to a transport company based in Kharkov and was adopted by DR after the battle.Would have been interesting to know the opinion of Hitler and Himmler on a unit of their Germanic SS adopting a Slavonic emblem /insignia when the ultimate goal was destruction of their very existence, ken
The Transport Company i referred to was a Russian civilian Transport Company not a Military unit from Russia or Germany,Ken
that's a bangalore torpedo for clearing minefields. The Russians laid lots of minefields prior to the fight.
