I just got a 21st Century Tiger tank, and I like it alot. I was wondering who makes the best German figures to go with my tank. I am still kind of new to armor, and I would like for you guys to recommend some soldiers for my tank. And where can I get these German soldiers? :D

2 figures you might want to get would be the dragon figures Wittman and Joachim. Both were tank aces for Germany and Joachim lead the battle of the bulge. They are the only 2 correct German tanker figures that are ready to display. I will add a picture of this later :wink: Other than that, that's all for correct figures other than the commander that comes with the tanks, and he's a little on the small size. What I've done is taken the Max Rode figure and changed the head with other figures, then painted them with black uniforms, added correct insignia and changed out the gloves for hands from other figures(21st C). The same can be done with the 21st C Gerhard Kenzdai figure. I've also changed the hat on some of the Kendzai figures too. A little work, but well worth it ;) 8) The General

B24, I like the 21st tank figures Sgt. Max Rode and Pvt. Gerhard Kendzai. Both of these figs are from the Battle of the Bulge.(BOTB) Check out Bad Cat....

Hey B-24,
Here is a shot of one of my custom Tiger I's with the Dragon and 2 custom 21st C figures :)

Those are the 2 Dragon tanker figures, Wittman on the left and Joachim on the right.

These 2 are custom 21st C tanker figures - Early tank commanders with different heads( the Rode and Kenzdai figures don't fit well in the 2 lower access hatches on the Tiger I tanks :( )
Hope this helps you out ;) The General

Great pictures, thanks for the help guys. Those figures really dress up the tank nicely.
