Good afternoon all. I am kind of a new member. Forgot my last user name so signed up under a new name. I am Richard, or Ricky Ausf. A. Not to be confused with Ricky Ausf. B. My favourite subject is the Tiger tank. It could fight other tanks, make pizza and was able to do the school run. Awesome! I do not have a sense of humour. Grrrr. I love making models, obviously Tigers and Konigstiger my favourite. Currently building an SDKFZ 251/1 command vehicle (Awesome sound system in the back) and the Konigstiger (P) (please don't go there ☺) Looking forward to speaking to you all and proving my superior intelligence in all things tanky. My over confidence and blind ignorance of reality are my only weapons so please be kind.
Well you learn something new every day.... I had thought that the Pizza Oven variant was for use in Italy only. Now I know why the Australian Army bought all those German manufactured Leopard II tanks a while ago....it must have been cause the Germans were the only manufacturers to be able to put a BBQ variant into production to meet Australian needs. Must have been due to the success of the Pizza oven in their Tigers.... Isn't German manufacturing just the best?
yes, cheers. British tanks were equiped with burners for tea. small crew comforts helped with morale.
