Sorry Cheyenne you're out of luck. There were a very few (14 or less) Tiger I's in or near the Ardennes during that time frame but none were initials like the ones that can be built from the Dragon kit. These would have only been found in Russia in late '42 into early and possibly mid '43. As for the Panther A that's more doable (is that a word??) Though the "G" was more numerous at this point there were still "A's" around.

Both Dragon and Tamiya make late King Tiger Henschel turret type kits. In fact they both call them Ardennes Tigers. Go with one or two of these and you won't have any extra research.

Kelley, Blaster, thanks I kinda thought using the T-1's was stretchin it. Don't want to use my T-2's tho I've got them assigned to something else. Looks like I'll use PZ IV's and the Panther A & G then, refitting, how about any PZ III's no? go fish? Thanks again guys.- Cheyenne
