1/32 Figarti Tiger vs K&C 1/30 Whittman Tiger (1 Viewer)

[Phantom Warrior]

Has anyone done a side by side comparison of the 1/32 Figarti Tiger which shows the interior to the older 1/30 K&C Tigers such as Whittman's last tiger or the Winter Tiger? I am intersted in getting the Figarti model before they disappear, if it looks ok next to K&C armour.

Terry,

I have both and the K & C version is a little undersized (even Andy admits that). However, even if it wasn't, you should get the Figarti version because it is an amazing case of engineering. It's a unique piece, the likes of which I doubt we will see again.

Take it a step further. How does the Figarti stack up size wise to the KC Tunisian Tiger or the CS Tigers? -- lancer

No offense meant here, but in my opinion, the CS Tigers should not be in the same sentence as the K&C and Figarti ones. To me IMO, they look like toys compared to the K&C and Figarti Tigers.

I agree wholeheartedly.

For my money, the only Toy Soldier produced tanks that can be compared with the Figarti Tiger and the Figarti Grant are the Honour Bound Gold Edition tanks. The HB Gold edition and Figarti tanks are works of art in my opinion.

Would the Figarti Tiger look ok in a display with the "undersized" K&C Whittman Tiger?

 

[jazzeum]

Yes, I have them side by side. If you do a search, I think somebody a year or two back did the same thing and posted photos, maybe maddadicus.

Yes, they are practically twins for size..I think the K/C gun barrel was longer...Michael

That is a great scene. Can I ask where the wrought iron fencing is from??

Hobby Bunker......they come painted and unpainted. And they are relatively inexpensive, made of lightweight foam.

The Figarti looks ok next to the Whittman Tiger as they are both 1/32 but they both look small compared to the later true 1/30 scale K & C tanks and vehicles.

Good idea, I didn't buy any of the Figarti 1/32 Tigers as they're too small for my collection, but everyone I know that has bought them were very impressed with the detail.
