Hi Guys,

Only just picked up on the up and coming release of this kit.

Here's some reference pics that might be of use:



























Cheers

Thank you

You da man Alan!!

Al-- does Bovington have a Ferdinand in the collection? If so, any chance you can post some shots?
thanks
DJ

Good timing, Al! They'll go well with the ones I have from the WW II Victory Museum. Thanks for posting them.

Hi Guys,

Dave, check you PM's.

Patrick, you welcome.

DJ, I didn'e see a Ferdinand at Bovington on the last trip. I don't thing they have one, although I could be wrong. I'm hoping to get up to Duxford quite soon and will check in the Armoured vehicles section up there, they may have one. If I get any pics I'll let you know.

Chris, Did you get the email and the link?

I had to rush this one as it was almost closing time. Could have done with a few more of the front. Oh well, next time

Cheers

Al

Hi Al,
Nope. I haven't seen anything email wise from you since 27MAR.

Hi Chris,

Check you're PMs.

Hello good shots.

I'm fairly sure that Bovington doesn't have a Ferdinand there, I try and get done there once a year and I didnt see one last year - though they had sprung another King Tiger!

Hi Goos,

Yip, two monsters down there

Al

Do you have any pics showing the overall vehicle.. for people who are not too familiar with it.. like me

Hi Hisham,

Sorry no. I was pushed for time when I got to this one and didn't get any wider shots.

Al

Hi Al

Excellent pictures again

Hisham:

Here's some more stuff on the Renault

In the hands of its temporary owners



And (not quite) finally, the history of Bovington's well-travelled one

Not quite the furthest-travelled veteran of the 342 CACC though, their H-39s ended up in Syria - via West Africa

Finally, finally - the only only Ferdinand is the one at Kubinka, while Aberdeen has an Elefant captured in Italy. Bovington does have a Jagdtiger with Porsche suspension to make for this.
