Ok here goes ..


88 , 8tn semi track w quad 2cm

tiger 2 henschel turret

Well, that's a trailer mounted "88" being towed. Don't have a clue what the quad is in the back of the half-track or what the vehicle is called.

Does that mean I'm two-thirds dummy?


Second pic is a Tiger II aka "King Tiger" with an 88mm gun.

Really neat stuff! I used to monkey around with models, but never was anywhere near that talented.

Made em on my last tour in korea. Worked 8hrs a wk on 2id general staff , me and a katusa sgt would draw 9mm,s early monday morning , i would go get a breifcase full of documents from.the 2id cheif of staff. Stuff that could not be sent over the internet, drive to 8th army cheif of staff in yongson. Give him the briefcase and go back friday , get the briefcase and bring it back to 2id. Bought a fly tying jig , magnifying glass and made models and played slot machines at the bowling alley. Didnt go out cheating on the ole lady didnt drink and piss away my 300 dollars amonth allowance, made models , played slots smoked ciggerettes and drank coffee. 100% hand painted , no airbrush chit, won the pacific area army model contest in 05 and took 3rd army wide from a photo submission. Long fuqqing yr on general staff purgatory....

Those are quite remarkable.

Thank you for your service.

I took alot of liberties in the ambush paint scheme and attachments of items , but it is nothing a crew could not have done with buckets of paint or a gas welder in the rear.

My late uncle was a Sherman tank driver in Normandy and said it was horrifying to see panzers come over the hill, because Sherman bullets arced to the target and panzers shot flat.
The tank commander sat above and behind and kicked my uncle on the shoulders to tell him how to steer.

Most of the Troupe Aéroportée (TAP) 150's were used extensively in Algeria in the late
50's and early 60's. Some did make it to Indochine very late.

The French armor that the Germans feared was the Char B and B1vis. Read some French and German AARs on confrontations! One that always sticks in my memory is the one of 2, B's that destroyed a German column that had parked bumper to Bumper in a village one evening (trying to get all vehicle in village). Tanks simple took out lead and tail Armor and the rest was a turkey shoot.

You, sir, are an artist.

I didn't know there were that many variations of German tanks. IIRC, there weren't many Tiger 2's built.

Thanks for sharing your art with us and allowing me to prove (once again) that I can be wrong.
