Hi y'all,
Recently I started working on the RFM Sturmtiger, as part of a future diorama I have in mind. I want to replicate the following picture, where a Bergepanther has the Sturmtiger in tow. One source states that this took place in the UK. This is plausible as the Sturmtiger from Sturm-Mörser-Kompanie 1001 was captured by the US army in Oberembt near Düren and send to Bovington. Later it has been scrapped.
I started with the details of the casemate and having finished that one I came to the hull...
I added the Attak Zimmerit to the front, sides and rear. The only thing I cannot determine is if the front of the glacis also had Zimmerit or not. I therefore left it off.
What I find a bit of a let down of the kit, is that both the drivers' position and the rear bulk head were left out. Apparently there are 2 versions of the kit: one with a full interior (including an engine) and one that has some of it. The choice what is in there or not seems rather random.
A clear roof has been included to show all those goodies, but not all the goodies themselves.
