Esci has a bad chassie on their Tiger II. They made just one chassie to use
on their Tiger II and their Jagdtiger so both are wrong. They also goofed
with the torsion arms on the left and right side of the chassies so they
point the wrong way. It isn't very visible with the wheels mounted though.
The Esci Tiger II is larger then the Revell Tiger II.
I have some pictures of the Esci Hull on the Revell chassis here:
http://se.photos.yahoo.com/bbaecklund they are in the T2 folder. The pic
with the 3 chassie sides is from the top: Fujimi (1/76), Esci, Revell.
As you can see Revell and Fujimi has the torsionarms pointing the same way.
