***Its an interesting load but it looks a little precious sitting there on those two wee stands.

I wonder how it would actually have been supported / secured if they went by rail - I'm betting some big baulks of timber and lots more props/supports + chains etc to secure the mini-sub at least... I wonder too about the torpedoes - something that long, full of amatol and fitted with gyros and other sensitive stuff would surely need more support and protection....

*** HI Neil

Its ages since I looked at a catalog, but aren't tigers/panthers/Mk4's part of the Roco Minitanks range... along with many other WW2 German guns, tank killers & other stuff etc...?

Anyone know who makes 1/87 Tiger tank kits?
