Nice picture, it seems that the actual tiger 200 did not have zimmeret, while FOV's model does have zimmeret. :evil:

It had zimmerit, it's just hard to tell from that photo. What the FOV version lacks that the real one had is the "200" it had on it's barrel's left side.

I guess FOV only followed the color profile and didn't know that 200 was painted on the barrel on the other side. :roll:

Here's another picture of the same tank, which is now in the Imperial War Museum in London (albeit with different cammo)

I was lucky to get to visit the Imperial War Museum in London, when I was waiting for my next Flight, from the airport. I had a 15 hour layover, so I took the subway to the museum.
