The German Tank Aces:what busts are available???

[chris1]

Hi All,
I have just purchased the Kirin bust of Michael Wittmann...(cheap NZD 10.00)
I was wondering if there are busts of any other "Tank Aces" preferably in the same scale?

Any advice please

Cheers

Chris

PS: Out of interest how accurate is this bust( I think it may be aMike Good Sculpt,
Mike if you read this I'm sorry for asking)

The bust is much smaller than the original Wittman.
(Sorry Chris, couldn't resist)

Not aware of other ace busts in that scale.

I did the Kirin Whitman waaaaay back in the Jurassic period.

The bust is 1/12th scale and is not popular with other manufacturers although some have tried this scale recently. The only other tank ace bust i know of is the recent Whitman bust done by MJ Miniatures:

Different scale, different uniform.

Here goes another one:

Life Miniatures Joachim Pieper and Verlinden Productions Joachim Piper:

Both in 200mm. Tip - don't let your wallet do the decision

Chris,

There is also a Max Wunsche bust (including Panther tank cupola) from Young Miniatures in 1/10 scale - http://www.young-miniatures.com/products/YM1826/YM1826-1.htm

I am not sure if Peiper and Wünsche can be seen as tank aces. It seems to be a one-man-Wittmann-show if you are looking at busts. If you regard Peiper and Wünsche as tank aces you might like Pegaso`s Guderian bust and some Rommel releases as well.
There is another bust of a tank ace - Otto Carius - on the market

but I like the full figure of him from the Alpine range much more.
