The paint scheme is too close to some earlier releases. I will have to pass on this one. Will have to have that Stug though.

I HAVE to get this! That fence will look GREAT with my FoV 1:32 Kitten!

Seriously though...they need to pack up those extras and sell them. Some are just too cool.

Yeah, I want that Stug too. Don't much care for the winter version though.

I can pass on this too. The paint is just too funky even if it's based somewhat on the real one.

The new normandy tiger one looks very nice, allthough the king tiger looks horrid to me.

For some reason that paint scheme reminds me of fruit stripe gum. :?

I want the Normandy Hanomag Halftrack.
The nicest paint so far looks like it IMO. http://www.themotorpool.net/PhotoGaller ... =UNI81410H

The areas of missing zimmerit don't look all that well done to me. I also agree with all the other unimpressed comments about the paint.

New King Tiger

Post by lightning2000 » Fri Feb 27, 2009 8:49 pm

Hi All,
I dont think it looks anywhere near as bad as some of you are making it out to be. I think the images shown here are on the bright side, making the stripes stand out a bit much. I think you need to see it up close before making a decision. Then again, its not their nicest scheme, I'll give you that. One painted up in an autumn ambush scheme might have been a better choice, in my opinion...

Didn't Minichamps have a similar camo scheme on a Jagdpanzer a couple of years ago?

King Tiger

Post by lightning2000 » Fri Feb 27, 2009 9:08 pm

Hi,
Not to my knowledge. The Jagdpanthers were either blotchy or winterized. Dragon had a similar King Tiger, if memory serves me correctly. It was 60049, also in a stripey kind of camo (1:72 scale) and 61017 (1:35 scale).

I have Dragon king tiger 61017 & the colours are a lot darker & not so bright & looks miles better than the FOV one , but that the problem with most of FOV 1/32 tanks the paint job let them down :cry:
