I scored 2 Tiger I's and a Panzer IV this week, and I need some ideas on what to make with them. I know the there are a couple of Panzer IV kits floating around, the Wirble, and Stug kits and PH is working on another kit. I'm at a loss on what to do with the Tigers. Any Suggestions?

The first pick looks pretty boring, The storage box on the back is the only thing I notice differnt.

The second pic, looks pretty bad ass! is that a Panther Turret?

Thanks, for the suggestions

Here is a suggestion fro your tiger:

Often referred to the "bergetiger" recovery vehicle, this variant was actually a demolition carrier. But, as you can see in the last photo, that vehicle has a massively reinforced tow point in the front hull, so maybe they served both duties.
