                        Once you are done buying that Accurate Armour Tank Landing Craft, why not buy this, a real road wheel from a Tiger II?

                        http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4078&item=2225288768

                        I posted this here to torture the Tiger fanatics. Laugh [(-D]

                        It looks like it might actually have some of the original dunkelgelb paint on it ....

                        I suppose you could buy it and then build a Tiger around it.

                        Or even to use as a workbench.

                        Come on though, guys, admit it -- this is cool. It's part of a King Tiger that rolled across Eastern Europe (one assumes), plinking T-34's and JS's until Miller Time.

                        Amazing what the frost will bring to the surface! I wonder if the rest of the tank is still down there somewhere. LOL. (makes me think of the dumpsters filled with road wheels, etc. at any Army maintenance site!)

                        I'm personally waiting until he puts the tank's L71 up for auction. Wink [;)]

                        A thirty buck track link? Yeah, I'll take the chance of bidding for it on eBay. An eight hundred dollar wheel ...?

                        Doubt that occurred. They were mostly in retreat by then. Still a piece of a Kingtiger would be neat, but apparently expensive.

                        I wouldn't mind having a piece of the m10 audie murphy made his one man stand on. even a .50 cal cartridge from the site. it would be awesome to have that displayed with my audie m10 display that I'm doing.

                        Well, yeah, you don't have to roll forward to roll. Laugh [(-D]

                        Seriously though, Tiger IIs were often used for attacks even as late as March '45. They attacked quite a lot in January '45 in the counteroffensive in Hungary. 509 sPzAbt was supporting 5th SS Pz and 2nd SS Pz. 509 racked up an impressive kill list of IS-IIs and ISU-152s, but the unit was eventually ground down.
