Skorzeny, please count me in as well. Where does one send payment or what is the process to purchase one of these, when they are ready?

Turret is too wide and mantlet is offset to far to the right.

I assume they will be double-checking their measurements before making any molds?

Hopefully they will double-checking their measurements, having had experience with 21-century toys in 1/32...
I think so.

From top and side pics you can't tell but from front and back you can see the turret is wider than it should be, probably it's only effect of the 3D image.

The mantlet on the other hand it is offset, no doubt about it.

Anyway I trust the Project Engineer will take care of those details after Skorzeny's comments about these issues.

Thanks "[CAT]CplSlade"]!!! the reason I m not post yet in the Facebook page . is that I need you all opinions

and I was wondering when you(CAT]CplSlade) would give me your seal of approvement since you are renown by the good quality. accuracy

and a high standard in this forum

I noticed the (mantlet is offset too far to the right.) and I told the Engineer about it in the same day He told me this isn't

the final design, its not big deal to fix. about the (Turret, is too wide) Good point I had to look for one 1/16 tiger 2 to see those details

Thanks, CAT]CplSlade good points

could be too Eddy10440 good Point

Thanks, Field marshal Normandy

I will be sending those pics to Project Engineer

I haven't been on here in a long while but I'm glad I came back when I did! I've always wanted a 1/18 Königstiger to sit alongside my 1/18 tiger 1 and panther. Curious question though, is it possible I could order a tiger in a simple two tone camouflage scheme such as this late war pattern? Or are you set on the single color?

I think one reason to go with the single color was to keep the cost of production down.

That is correct, Skorzeny confirmed that to me.

Also, that camo scheme was never actually used. The dark green base color overlaid with hard-edged rotbraun and dunkelgelb begun in December 1944 was the last scheme ordered by the RLM before the war ended. The July 1945 configuration is the paint equivalent of a paper panzer.
