313 doesn't seem like a number that works for 9./SS-Panzer-Regiment 3 (Totenkopf's Tiger Company).
Like "Leibstandarte" and "Das Reich" the 3rd SS Panzer division had a company of Tiger tanks. Initially it was designated 4./SS-Panzer-Regiment 3. This meant that the numbering started with a 4 (i.e. 413). These numbers were shared with Panzer III which made up a part of Tiger companies initially.
In may 1943 the Panzer IIIs were turned in and it became the standard 14 Tiger schwere panzer company. At this point is was also designated the last company of II./SS-Panzer-Regiment 3 so it thus became 9./SS-Panzer-Regiment 3 (9th company, 2nd battalion, Panzer Regiment 3) This means the prefix number was changed to 9 (i.e. 913).

Well I bought the tank a couple days back and it came yesterday!!!! This tank is amazing (and heavy too), it has multiple layers of detail. From the turret to the tank treads, this thing is detailed up and down.

Yeah but very expensive.
This Tiger has a $299 list price. I purchased mine on ebay for $188. If you look hard enough, they can be found on ebay for a very reasonable price. I believe there is one on ebay now! They are truly one of kind, with all that interior detail, that no tank in the industry can match.

No, I havent placed a bid yet but, I'm watching it and very well may. I have the #131 Tank already and really would like the Winter version but if there is a deal to be had..... I hate I didnt have the money at the time when all the others were put on ebay a while back.
