Tiger 1 "212" - Michael Wittman


Recent research has narrowed down the Tiger 1 used by Michael Wittman at Villers-Bocage to a couple of options. Was it 212 or 205? Pop over to www.missing-lynx.com, go to the Axis discussion group and type in "Michael Wittman's Tiger at Villers Bocage" in the search box.  Be prepared to lose a few hours of your life wading through the research. Most of the respected experten point to "212" for reasons that are well explained on M-L. 

 Needless to say, I plumped for 212, and used the first - and best - release of the DML Tiger 1 (Late) for my model. Zimmerit was by my tried and trusted Squadron Green / Tamiya zimm rake method. Hope you like it:

    I like it! I'm torn between 212 and 231 myself.
