Nice, and a nice target for a 1/48th RNZAF Hawker Typhoon

Oh I dunno. Didn't they do desert trials with a Typhoon Ib? We'll have to leave it up to the Hurricanes, Kittyhawks and maybe the odd Hudson (if they're lucky).

I think there were a few kiwi pilots serving in Russia too.
never mind, it's a great model all the same.

Maybe the target of a lost Typhoon with very long range droptanks under the wings? ;D

Is that a Tiger or a Panzer IV with the larger gun fitted? I saw a documentary on German tanks of WW2 a few days ago, the Panzer IV of 1940 fame was developed to carry additional armour and the larger guns, and was easily mistaken for a Tiger. Also of interest was the slope of the armour. The later Tiger II was sloped, which increased the thickness of the armour plate twice. The armour on this tank has vertical plates, which was less effective.
