Normandy church facade (1 Viewer)

[Eazy]

This church facade and the Figarti Tiger were my purchases yesterday at the London Show.
Decided to mess around and combine the old K&C farm walls with the church. There's a slight difference in the colour of the bricks but it works ok overall. Will be playing around making a scene with it later.

What do u think of the pic? There's controversy over the shiny barrel where it recoils.
I can see why some don't like it but taking that out of the equation it's one of the best Tigers in my opinion. ps there is a metal chain in the Tiger box but I can't work out what it's for!

No i dont have those but they do look the similar colour. Pity though you cant make a courtyard out of them like the farmhouse walls.

Very very nice purchases. The Tiger also looks very nice.

The kill markings on that tiger are upside down.

Well spotted eagle eyed viewer!
It turned around when I was playing with the recoil.

The kill markings on that tiger are upside down.

From hundreds of WWII photos, It was rare for German tanks to have kill markings as rings on the barrel. If the Wittmann tank had them it was probably for publicity purposes. Some of the German tank destroyers had kill rings. I've seen the occasional photo of a Brit tank in North Afrika with tank symbols (kills) on the turret. I can't recal seeing any kill markings on US or Russian tanks.

Perhaps it's for use with the Figarti German gantry crane. This model comes with the completed turret basket so displaying it with the turret pulled could work.
