Does anyone know of any good references on this little gem? Only one was ever completed and saw action--it was assigned to the headquarters company of 653, with number 003-- the Schwere Panzerjager Abteilung 653. The good people of Dragon recently produced a kit of it, which I am expecting. There are a couple of tomes on the tank and its relatives by Tom Jentz which are nearly impossible to find and probably unaffordable if you could. There is a chapter about a scratch-built rendition of the tank in "The Modeler's Guide to the Tiger Tank", but I would love to see more info on the tank, preferably without paying an excessive amount to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated--thanks!

I'll look at my copy of History of the 643 and see what I can find and get back to you.
