This diorama depicts the aftermath of an attack by a rocket firing Typhoon on a Tiger tank which tried to cross a causeway. The blast has knocked out the tank and also destroyed an MG nest close by. The surviving tankers have just baled out. The last photo shows a second Tiger coming to help their comrades.
I have been wanting to do a destroyed tank for some time but a suitable donor has not been available, until now. It is a Tamiya early version. I took it to bits very carefully so I can re-build it fairly easily.
The crew are Alanger.
The MG nest was an after thought to balance the model a bit and is made from twigs, matches and a dyed kitchen roll for the tarp. The bodies ect are from my bit box.
I present for your inspection and all comments, tips and money will be gratefully received!! I will post some more pickies asap.
