These are great models, First Legion WW2 figures match very well with these Baby Tigers.

Oz, I agree these "baby" 1:32 scale Figarti Tigers (a little small) ...work only "ok" with FL 1:30th.... I have tried them..... not bad........But Now.... I have recently found that the First Legion Waffen SS figures work perfectly with the 1:30th scale Figarti Winter Tiger:smile2:.....That Figarti 1:30th winter tiger is excellent:smile2:...They sold out fast.....If your lucky enough to own one of those Figarti 1:30th Winter Tigers you will find that they match FL 1:30th Waffen SS figures...Almost Perfectly....It doesn't get much better then that:wink2:

Vezzolf, I'm happy your happy to display your First Legion figures with 1/32 scale Figarti as well as 1/30 scale Figarti, that is not something I would do. As much as I liked my Normandy version of the 1/32 Figarti Tiger I found it difficult to display with my 1/30 figures and ended up selling it.

As well as the size and scale differences there was also the detailed interior, I paid for those extras, but how do you display it. I have the same problem with my Collectors Showcase Stug, a nice detailed interior, but I rarely see it.

Frank, I can't say I agree with your display preferences, but I'm happy your happy {sm3}

To be fair Fl work well with Figarti armour and TG

Yeah, they work ok together, but not a surprise as many Figarti and TGM vehicles tend towards the smaller end of '1/30' scale. The ideal of course would be for every TS company to ensure their figures matched their own vehicles, sadly no TS company seems to have done that yet, consistently. Of course there would be those that argue that vehicles should not vary, but when models are measured correctly, that is not including additions such as hedgerow cutters etc, they often do vary from actual 1/30 scale.

Well said mate exactly right.

All I know guys is that the recent Winter Figarti Tiger I model is an excellent 1:30th model.....a better effort then their earlier Tiger with full interior.....and it works perfectly with First Legion's Waffen SS figures which are excellent. The camo and detail on those First Legion Waffen figures is really well done. Figarti and First Legion go very well together both in scale and more importantly style/detail. That's common knowledge....Now,I am hoping for a 1:30th camo Figarti King Tiger or Panther to be released. If they are done they will be a good match for my FL Waffen collection^&grin

I purchased these Tigers all five when they were released I think ten years or so, I was VERY impressed with the detail and workmanship.I have posted some pix of the Dec.1943 Tank # 301 in Russia all of the five tanks have this level of detail, nice job Figarti.

I also have the winter version of the Tiger, of which I am very fond. But by gosh that's a fantastic collection you've got there. You've even got a Navy!!!y
