Sorry, Karl, I've no idea on the Schwere, but have you considered simply combining two Leichte to get what you need?

hi there. the 6-axel is produced by Ironside. but I do not remember the item number. it is a multi-media kit, including plastic, resin, and metal parts.
I used it for a diorama. If you want to have a look, please refer to:
http://digilander.libero.it/modellisti_monopoli

It is my site (in italian), but I think it is quite easy to follow.
I think you already know, but you also need transport tracks for the tiger as well as you need to remove one row of road wheels on each side and fenders.

bye, sante
