Ah good controversy. OK let me write what I've got in my reference. Based on eyewitness accounts of the days action, including an examination of all destroyed Tigers after the battle by a resident of Cintheaux, the most probable view is that during the battle between Witmann's Tigers (he was Btn Cmdr of 19 Tiger 1s) and the advancing Allied armor, his Tiger, "White 007" was hit and destroyed by a rocket fired by a Royal Air Force Typhoon"

Skip a paragraph about Typhoons

A moment later the ammunition exploded instantly killing all crew breaking both tracks and blowing turret into air......According to diary of the Frnch citizen who examined the wreckage of "white007" after the battle, the Tiger had not been penetrate by any of the shells which had struck during the battle.

This book was published in 1992 Feist and Culver are considered the foremost experts on the Tiger tanks.

CSCH I think that book is still available. It is by Ryton Publications. I got mine from Squadron when they put it on sale. Cost me $85. Think it went for over a hundred. Just checked their latest master catalog and they still list it at $89.96. If you love Tigers this is the book hundreds of photos of every intricate detail. You would never need another source for any modeling variation. It also has comprehensive histories of all the units that used them. Now color schemes, well I'ld turn to the Squadron Panzer colors series.

Just to bring a little more clarity to that...this is the Italeri Jumbo kit that isn't....but still builds into a good representation of a M4A3 (76) W. :-)
