I suppose when it breaks down or runs out of fuel, all the blokes on the back could push!
Well….as long as the driver had it in neutral and it was down hill! *huh!*

I think those are the starter crew, for when the battery goes kaput and they have to use the inertial starter. It must be a bitch trying to turn over that big Maybach 12.

Königstiger with Fallschirmjäger Tank Riders

During the Ardennes offensive, Peiper's regiment was reinforced by the 502. SS-Schwere Panzer Abteilung (502nd SS-Heavy Panzer Battalion). This battalion was equipped with the Königstiger. Their slow speed and bulk placed them at the end of Peiper's column at the start, but when they began to encounter strong American counterattacks, these nearly invincible beasts proved essential to the mission.

Contains one Königtiger (Late Production), five Fallschirmjäger Tank Rider figures, two Tiger Ace dice, one decal sheet, and two rare-earth magnets.

In stores from 18 August 2012.
