You make this look way too easy.  This is incredible, Wolfik.  Don't forget the PAINT, eh?!   :thumbsup:

Why the 88?  The US had plenty of large gun that could defeat a tiger.  The super pershing had a high velocity 90.  You could even do a 105 or 120 mm gun.

I think he's doing this as a 1943 version I could see the super 90mm or a long 105 as a late 1944/early 1945
Yeah,I know the load is late.But the voices keep telling me to pull over and clean the guns.

Except that the HVSS would not be available for that purpose in 1943, it did not enter production until August, 1944.

Nor would the US Ordnance Department 'license' a design from an active enemy combatant, if they wanted to make the 88, they would just copy the thing. A more likely scenario than actually producing a copy of the 88 (which would not be a quick process) would be an 88mm barrel mounted on an existing breech mechanism.

Relax guys, its what iff you know. Wolfik can creat the tank he wants and place it in any timeframe he wants, wether parts are invitented, build or not.

I think it looks great. Heavy and big.

I don't know how all of your builds always looks so right. Your scratchbuilding looks like it's all part of the kit it's so cleanly matched. Nice work :)
