700... Nice tank, great detail, wrong scale, and just about 500 bucks too much.

Right scale for me.

Here is the deal. I called the Mule to confirm and it turns out they just now got their shipment from 2005! Yup they got 8 brand new factory fresh production KT's and when they are gone....

I'd buy the Peiper King Tiger---if it was at the 2005 price--which someone told me was around $275.

Quite right, a bit steep on the retail price...maybe wait for the X-Mas sale

mm

Peiper's command AFV in wacht am rhein was a 251/3 Ausf.D not a Tiger II

the way this is worded, it sounds like Peiper had a Tiger II himself.

the fact was Peiper had the Tiger Abt, at the rear of his column, due to how unweildly the massive things were in the ardennes, vs the StuG IIIs and Panzer IVs sized AFVs(Which could cross most existing bridges in the region.

Quite right PanzerM....it seems Unimax has watched the old "Battle of the Buldge" movie too many times...As the massive Patton er...Tiger Tanks spearhead the attack of Col. Hessler er Peiper...
