info on the Dragon Ardennes Kingtiger

at least there are both mantlets

Hmm I'd have to agree with you Captain, im not sure any KT's had the late tracks in the Ardennes. Let us know what you come up with.

this is what ive found in "Germanys Tiger Tanks VK45.02 to Tiger II"
"Gleisketten tracks, Starting in march 1945 a new single link Kgs 73/800/152 track was introduced that was again driven by an 18 tooth drive sprocket"

So WHY have Dragon added these?
they have a final Kingtiger in there catalogue but the Ardennes ones missing alot of final type bits that were added before the tracks were added

To make money.Digger

the only peaple to make money out of these wrong tracks are Fruilmodel and Modelkasten for the correct tracks

ive just been waiting for the final kingtiger
ive got there first kingtiger and that was fine for a Ardennes kingtiger the way it was

I debated to wait and order this version, but Greatmodels had a deal on their other Henschel version and got that one. This kit looks like it is full of goodies though, and I kind of wish I waited.

Jon, any scoop on Dragon releases for 2005.

I just read somewhere, I can't remember which book, that the Kgs 73/800/152 track was used on a handful (6 or less) KTs during Wacht am Rhein as an experiment. If I stumble across it again I'll post it. I don't feel like chasing it down right now.
