Were Porsche Turreted King Tigers used in the Ardennes Offensive? I havea Tamiya Porsche Tiger, and want to do a diorama. But were they used at all?

Sorry, but they weren't.

If you are after an idea for your Porsche though, try 314 'Anneliese' of s.Pz.Abt.503 serving in Hungary. It was one of two saved from their time at Normandy, and featured a winter finish.

Here are some small detail changes and information, while here is a link to a quick build by Angus Creighton with more pictures of his model. This is another construction article , more in-depth, but in Spanish.

Anneliese herself looks like this:
