StieliAlpha Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Gents, here comes some advertising, which should be interesting for us guys in Europe, namely Germany, France, Netherlands and Belgium and to everybody else who does not mind to travel a little further: On 2nd August the Swiss Tank Museum in Full-Reuenthal presents an intermediate stage of their years old (started in 2006) King Tiger reconstruction project to the public. The partially reconstructed King Tiger will be presented prior to the installation of engine, gears,etc. With the opportunity to take whatever photos you like. That's certainly a not to miss "once in your lifetime" opportunity! Of course,they have a surrounding programm for those who have seen enough of the King Tiger. For details see: http://www.koenigstiger.ch/bilder/flyer_A6_2.pdf And those who have seen enough tanks for a day can still visit the nearby Swiss broder fortress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipanderson Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi, Sounds like fun... but living in the UK will not be able to make it. We have the “working..” Tiger I, sometimes working any way... . How did the Swiss get a King Tiger? Probably from an enterprising Soviet officer . All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 No, they bought it in France in 2006. Have a look at their web site. The King Tiger project has it's own page, explaining the history of the tank in some detail (and in English). Working Tiger I? Ah, the one starring with Brad Pitt in Fury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
