I'm building a diorama for school. Sounds odd, I know. The name of the scene is Elefant Hunting; the plan was to have a small troop of American soldiers with a Jeep disabling the tracks of an Elefant with a bazooka. The Americans would be sheltered in a building; I plan on buying a Verlinden building online, preferably from Squadron.com or Hometown Hobbies. I haven't done any online shopping before this; Can anyone tell me which site is more reliable? And which is more timely? Unfortunately, time is of the essence...
Thank you, everyone!

Elefants were on Italy, so I guess it happened, Squadron is really quick, I do recomend it if you want speed. The Ferdinand was the one that was on the eastern front, and was later modified and reassigned to Italy, then the remaining were sent back latter to the Eastern front.

As an FYI - Squadron is in Dallas, TX and Verlinden is in the 'burbs of St. Louis, MO. That may help determine which is closer to you.
