For the last one, I was waiting for other comments, since Nightrider said that only the turret was made by Porsche...

Nightrider is right, the only difference between a Henschel and a Porsche Königtiger is the turret.

Here is a Porsche Tiger II: http://www.precision-panzer.moonfruit.com/communities/9/004/006/621/409/images/4532415643.jpg

And here is a Henschel: http://images17.fotki.com/v1621/photos/9/1475469/7325626/KingTiger07_Formaatwijz- igen-vi.jpg

As you can see, the Henscel's turret is much more boxier.

As I have written, only 50 Porsche King Tigers were ever built, and only one(!) survived the war.

But did Porsche build the whole thing? He seemed to say that they built only the turret
27/04/2012 @ 11:24:01: tibi: Non-Unidentified Vehicles
Yes, only the turret. The hull and everything else were produced by Henschel.

When the 'Tiger II project' began, Henschel and Porsche made their own prototypes.

Meanwhile Krupp designed two different turrets: one for the Henschel (aka: Krupp production turret) prototype, and one for the Porsche.
Finally, Henschel won the project, because they developed the new tank much faster.

There is only one reason why the first fifty Henschel Tiger IIs got Porsche-turrets: the Henschel turrets weren't ready yet.
The rest of the later built Tiger IIs (439) got the simplified (but heavier) Henschel turrets.

So it's a bit strange: they are known as 'Porsche Königtigers', but in fact the turret was designed by Krupp.

If only the turret is made by Porsche and the rest by Henschel, I do not see why we should list it as Porsche rather than Henschel...

Okay, I have found out something.
I think this would be the correct name:

1944 Henschel Pz.Kpfw.VI 'Tiger II' Ausf.B Sd.Kfz.182 ('Porsche Königstiger')

Is it possible to rename it like that?
27/04/2012 @ 15:02:34: antp: Non-Unidentified Vehicles
ok :wink:

440 Mopar and I both agree that this truck is a Ford LN Series:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_503378-Ford.html
He's more specifically convinced it's an LN-600, but the long wheelbase leaves me with some doubts. Either way it's still listed as an unknown, and shouldn't be.

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_44274-Buick-Roadmaster-1958.html > It's either a Century or a Special (as PhilR said). However it's impossible to figure out which one of them (from this view). Therefore it should be listed as 1958 Buick.

This is a 1955-56 International Harvester S-Series Panel Truck:

56chevy and I have spotted this, but I don't think it has a custom grille.


And evidently, somebody got the message as I was posting this.

Well it should especially be listed only once: the same picture of the same bike shown twice in the show :grin:
23/06/2012 @ 11:47:24: tibi: Non-Unidentified Vehicles
This is what I wanted to ask, antp! :grin:

It's actually listed twice: Exactly the same bike in the same TV series.
Can one of them be deleted?
23/06/2012 @ 12:12:44: antp: Non-Unidentified Vehicles
Sure
23/06/2012 @ 13:39:53: tibi: Non-Unidentified Vehicles
antp, we should do the the same thing with these ones, too:

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_373750-KTM-EXC-F-2011.html > It's now listed correctly, so the other one can be deleted.

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_340339-KTM-250-2008.html

...or vice versa. It's up to you.
