Stian's Tamiya King Tiger

Wilco Bouwhuis

Fra Drammen

I know people there, Frank Herbro i think he is now running on Ingeniør Rybergate a fysio practice (he was a member of our sykkleclub for a few years) nice guy and always full of fun.
With our Cyclekklubteam we have been also some times to Horten and Tønsberg 4 dagers also to Lørenskogg (so we raced almost at your doorstep :lol:

), but most of the time to Hønnefoss at Ringerike GP during te 90's. Made over more then 11 trips with our team to your beautiful country : Thumbup :

and still got some friends in Horten and Stavanger during those years jei forstår litt norsk :lol:

but .......men ikke skrive :oops:

I use the impact with the DDG (no hop up gears) works fine for me.

It's no permanent battleground (hope to get one sometime) but (try) to organize some differtent meetings during the year.
Here some rebuild pictures off my Tiger II http://www.battletanksnederland.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4658
Also some pictures off the tank on his local playground, scroll down a little http://www.battletanksnederland.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=2426&start=15

Hi Stian,

It's a small world : Chessygrin :

Frank lived some years in my birthplace 's Gravendeel and raced at our team.

I organized those years gasthouses and race programs for Norwegian junior riders in Holland and Belgium during the season start.
Also been sometimes a host teammanager of the Norwegian juniorteam during some International races (Thor Hushovd was junior at that time, great guy).

The picture nr. 7 is before i installed the impactgear, at this picture i still got the reduce set from Axels.
Because that give me some troubles with broken gearwheels i got myself the impactgear with the DDG.
Nice Camo you got on your 1:48 Tiger II

Vennlig hilsen Wilco

Nice K.T.
The colorscheme of your tank is what Cyber hobby claims that it was the one in the battle of Berlin and was marked with 100 on the turret.
The tank shows the lack of materials at the end of the war, and is build up from working parts the Germans took from broken down tanks.
You can google the tank with King Tiger Berlin or King Tiger Cyber Hobby.

Greets Bas.

Great, thanks Bas

Further plans are to remove the plastic Tow Cables , but the tank is painted with them on so that means I have to do some fiddeling with colours to get it to look the same as the rest when I remove them.
I would like to get hold of some spare TC holders and the the holders for the cleaning rods , but that seems hard as they only come with the big , rather expensive , brass kit.

Also offcoz metall tracks. late Impact witk KK sprockets is my next buy when I get the money.
