please help me ...thnx
nb:
im sorry if my english were bad...
i studied english from the movie and radio

There were lots of Tiger Is in Normandy, and very few Tiger IIs.

The Academy Tiger isn't much help though as all the Tigers seen in Normandy were mid or late producion models with different cupolas to the Academy one and often steel wheels. And they all had zimmerit.

Have a look at this Tiger at Kubinka for the cupola

For more on Tigers in Normandy have a look at these, specially the Vimoutiers Tiger.

Hi Curahee23 ....David has given you all the info you need on the Tigers in Normandy ...If you want a really nice kit of a Tiger in Normandy get your hands on the new Dragon kit ...it is amazing and even has decals just right for this campaign....The only thing you'll have to either buy or do yourself is the zimmerit coating . It is worth every dime ...
