Takom and other Porsche turm King Tigers: Rivet alert!

Post by Quax »

Looking at reviews of the new Takom Porsche turm I was wondering why they've continued to produce one with a binocular gunsight when it would appear that only the first 10 had them (5 to Funklenk.316)? The rest were monocular from April 1944 with the extra hole needs fared. The picture below is from Jentz "Tigers at the Front" and of PzA 503 in Normandy and shows the monocular sight (which makes it look like Mr Angry,,,).

If I'm wrong with this or boring Id love to know as it will save me extra work :scratch::

Admin:if this is in the wrong place or the image used is naughty then please delete/move as appropriate.
Paul :hi: (not THE Paul a more inconsequential Paul)

On the bench:
A mess as usual...
