German Tank Engine Soldier Crew

Got this awhile ago and have been waiting for inspiration to hit me. Didn't want to build a crane as one reviewer suggested. Decided to install the engine and was trying to figure out how to cut out the engine cover without messing my model up. Then came across a panzer model where you had to put the cover on. Eureka I had my chance. This is what I ended up with. Used a few figures from other kits to give support to the mechanics. You only get one engine, not two as the box top implies. It shows two because you can build the engine for a tiger 1/sturmtiger or a panther/king tiger. Am looking for more kits like this as I am getting tired of just battle poses.

I like this one mostly because of the tools you are getting in the box then engine itself. The thing is that engine comes in 2 version, panther and tiger options, but its only top part visible. Its great if you making open hatch and repairmen working on it, but if you want to make cut out view of the tank, get something else. Other than that, its good model.

I used this kit on a tiger I that was newer than the list on this kit it fit perfectly. note; inorder to have a place to stand and work the turret needs rotated to the rt or lft rear of the tank if you place the figs to soon, like I did the flanges which hold the turret on must be removed to place the turret. this kit is very nice to improve a kit w/out breaking th bank
