1/16 scale? Yet they use their 1:32 for the adverts???? Would love to see stuff like this in the 1:32 scale, they could probably sell ten thousand in 1:32 versus the 1500 that will probably be made in 1:16???

Look cool but that is odd.

My wish is that .. they .. could.. just ... squeeze.. two .. .more .. notches .. up .. in scale to 1:18...

Can't be... that.. hard... right... ?

Cool looking, but for the $300+ that it's most likely going to go for, I'll pass....

Kinda looks a lot like their 1/32 Tiger.

I'll pass.

Lets see if they can get the paint scheme right this time as well as divisional markings and such.

Why not produce it in 1:18 scale. It would make more sense. Perhaps their math was off a little.

$389 Wow, i just couldn't explain that one. Looks cool but way to much money for me.

Too much $ for me as well.

For that much coin, a fully detailed interior is a must. Too bad... the rest of it looks pretty nice.

Have the other two, so I'll have to get his as well..lol I agree whole heartedly, there needs to be an interior, but even with that void, for the size and detail, I believe it to be a great deal, otherwise I wouldn't be spending the $$$ on them, not to mention they look great displayed, in particular, the last issue with figures.

The cool thing is that I have actually walked through Villers Bocage and went through the battle while walking the streets. An experience I will never forget.....

... With no interior and a hefty price to boot ,.. and predominantly plastic ,.. "ahh" , no tank you ,.. I'll pass on it too ! ...

looks to me like the bow machine gun and the drivers vision block are too close together

No.....the bow machine gun and driver's vision block looks good where they are.

I'm gonna get a couple myself. One to keep as it is, and one to repaint into a Tiger less......known?

This is the "buddy tank" Bill.. Didn't you know that???

Maybe it is the angle the photo was taken from on the FOV site but sure looks further apart in this photo

Well I won't be counting the millimeters...but It looks about right. Compare the edges of the line of the lower hull (because that's the center of the tank), to the edges of the hull machine gun and driver vision block.

The real thing:


FOV Tiger:

No tank you ! ... I'll just wait on 21st.'s version of Wittmann's last Tiger ,.. # 007. With or without zimmermit. <--------------- I've made my point accross now.
