Does anybody know who the crew was in the "Tiki" tank? I'm building a crew and want to get the details right such as decorations and ranks. Thanks!

Here is a link to a bit of information:

It appears that the user Tiki his grandfather was the commander of the Tiki Tiger tank. The commander's last name was Steinhofen and it is quite a story that is posted. More info in the link above.

A model construction kit of probably the best battle tank of the Second World War - the Pz.Kpfw. VI better known as Tiger . Feared by its opponents because of its firepower and armour these monsters first took to the road 75 years ago.

- Extensive chassis
- Injection moulded tracks with individual sections
- Interior turret detail
- Rotating turret
- Elevating cannon
- Turret hatches optionally open
- Transparent parts

Authentic representation of the following versions:
- sSSPzAbt. 102, 2nd SS Panzergrenadier Division Das Reich , Russia, Summer 1943
- 505th Heavy Panzer Battalion, Russia, 1943

This is NOT an authentic representation of the featured tank, "Tiki" of "Das Reich".
The front wall of the turret is the wrong shape (on the left side).
The large bin on the back of the turret is the wrong type.
Both of the above can be corrected with aftermarket parts.
There are several other errors in the kit, that can be corrected while building it. e.g. the real "Tiki" had no tracks stored on the turret, so you can omit them.
The other decal option, Tiger 231, is a much better match to the kit (but it belonged to the 502 battalion, not the 505 as the instructions state).
