Elefant

One from the bone yard this. This is another model I didn't have until now



Sent to me by Tim, it has had a couple of new wheels added, thanks to Paul and his bottomless pit of spares, and some new paintwork



I need to get at least one more of these to complete a small unit, though two would be better:) Manufacturer unknown but a tidy enough kit

  1. Nice work Al, a little limited for action I would think, but a handy addition.

    These are cheap as chips mate and if I find one I will send you a link.

    Fujimi I believe...

  4. Al, I 'm pretty sure I have a nearly built Elephant tank that's been lying somewhere among my stash in the same state for years, I can send it over to you if you're interested as it's in need of a loving home. Send me a pm and and post it to you (miniaturezone AT yahoo DOT com).

  5. Everyone needs a few of these in their collection. Some day mine will see the tabletop.
    The paint job is great.

  7. If you do Kursk Al remember no hull mg ;)

    Those big crosses are inviting a 85mm Russian AT shell ;)

    The Elephant is a funny old beast in my mind, instead of letting the runner up to the Tiger rust the Germans just had to try and find a use for it!
