not sure what you mean on the model.

but 2./3. Kps of 506 went to Arnhem/Nijmegen, and 1.kp went to Aachen in Sept.44

Dragon 61030 is the ardennes one & DRR61018 is the Arnhem one

hallo
thanks for the reply
the dragon king tiger 61030 has in the box a small poster
it has a picture of the tank and it says;

KING TIGER henschel production command version with zimmerit
SP.Abt.506 Arnhem 1944 item n.61030

Strange but other websites and dealers including DRAGON USA call this item

KING TIGER henschel production command version with zimmerit
SP.Abt.506 Ardenne 1944 item n.61030

i was puzzled by this item that seems to have a double identity to know
which is the correct one

thanks very much
stefano

by the way i forgot to mention if this can be of any help that on the turret the number is 101 in black with white outlines
stefano

the local isn't important.

what is is the unit.

1.Kp/1.Panzer(Befel)

note. 506 1.Kp didn't have regular Zugs as the KT were prone to breaking down..so each vehicle in the kompanie was issued a number, so it was 1.(kp number) XX (vehicle number)

as for where the unit was..read a book, the history is scattered about but it's out there on thr 506

During Wacht am Rhein, the unit was not deployed as a whole, it was under 5. Panzer Armee, and was deployed into Combat piecemeal as a firebrigade.

For me there best feature is there paint finish & can find no problem with them in general
The king tiger come with metal grill cover witch are a nice touch to

Here's a post on my similar King Tiger, with photos and Tiger I.

I pretty much love the Dragon stuff. I really like the crisp details and overall quality. I think mine was glued with just a little bit of barrel droop. Nothing anything but us perfectionists would notice.

When compared to the rest of the model, the treads probably don't live up to the rest of the model. But they're still pretty good. I guessing those who want to, can upgrade them.

For plastic the tanks are surprisingly durable in some areas, such as outside handles on the hatches. But I've also inflicted some damage. I broke the circular wheel on the loader's hatch on my Tiger I loose trying to push it open from the inside. This means I broke the glue joint loose and not the plastic and was able to easily glue it back.

I guess I broke a tiny little peg off near the radio operator's hatch on my King Tiger, trying to see if it would open.

Dragon has the Can-Do tank figures that go well with the tanks, although I'm highly suspicious of their paint. The figures are made of a rubbery plastic and probably have a paint to match their flexibility. It seems sort of soft/glossy/sticky and I worry about the figures' paint sticking to the tank if left in contact for a long period of time.

Maybe it's my imagination, but I think the paint on the Dragon 1/72 and 1/35 tanks scuff/wears off easily.

The description on the 61030 says it includes a protective display case and the 61008 just includes a display base. Does anyone know if this is correct?

hallo skypirate
thanks for your opinions
no you not immagining thinghs as sometime happenes to me withfov figures
I am also cutios to know if the tank has a display box as the dragon dispaly base is unimpressive
ciao
