Would like to see an Afrika Korps Tiger Next

Post by Mr. Football » Fri Apr 08, 2005 9:27 am

Message to Dragon, Cyber-Hobby, Forces of Valor MicroMilitary, anyone who does 1/72 armor...I think there are enough Normandy and Eastern front Tigers to keep us satisfied for the time being...how about doing an Afrika Korps Tiger? Surprised it hasn't been done yet?

Man thats a great pic.Where is that from or is it a model that you completed?I agree with an AFK Tiger.I like that German flag drapped on the back for aircraft ID.I'm pretty much King tiger'd to death to.Lets see them Stug's,Nashorn's and Hummel's.

Frankly, I'd love to see anything related to the North African Campaign. The camo schemes are beautiful, the battles and history are intriguing, and they could add a palm tree or water well to the diorama base for added authenticity!

Enough Tigers, BTW. Let see some Pz IIIs and IVs. A limited edition Panther would be sweet too!

I must agree with all of the above statements.

I'm somewhat surprised they haven't done a Barkmann Panther yet. Seems prime material for a CH release. They would likely have as much success with the Panthers (as Limited Editions) as they have the Tiger I's.

Everybody give me a HECK YA! for the Afrika Korps!

Heck, I'd love any 1/72 tanks and vehicles from the Afrika Korps.
Desert Yellow Panzer II, III, IV, Tiger, Halftracks, Kubelwagens, Opel Blitzs... I'd especially love a German 88mm AA/AT gun with all the bells and whistles! :D

Gene, that would be really cool. I can see an Afrika Korps Kollector's set, complete with Tiger I, Stug, Pzkw IV, Pzkw III, halftrack, and kubel....maybe even an Opel Blitz or AA gun (after they introduce all individually).

One of the RC Tigers Dragon did a couple years back was DAK.
