Happy Friday people ! I just got home from my LHS with a couple of treasures. First was Dragon's #6253, 3 in 1 Tiger, opened but still in the interior bags for $36. But the real find I think was the "TIGERFIBEL" manual. It's an English translation printed in 1998, but still has all the little cartoons, witty sayings, mechanical drawings, plus and minus breakdowns of Russian armour including "lend-lease" tanks. Anyway, it looks like it might be a fun read and add to detailing efforts. Is anybody familiar with this manual ? Have a great weekend everybody !!!! Tom

It's also duplicated in the Walter Spielberger Tiger book most recently published by Schiffer (there was also a 1992 edition by another publisher, but the books are the same).
