Got my Tigers (1 Viewer)

Got the gray and desert tigers today.
I,m not a real particular armour guy, so for me the vehicle itself is ok, not a wow, but ok.
I am a figure guy and I hate to report that the half figure that comes with the tank looks to be almost 1-35 in size. It could be a bit larger, but not much.
The figure being in the tank hatch might not be so noticeable, but what concerns me are any upcoming NMA figures with the pak 40 or marder. If they are the same size as the tank man, I will have to pass on them.
Like to hear from someone else relative to the figure size.
I was reluctant to post this as I applaud NMA and HB for giving us a choice, but I would have liked this info before I bought these.

Can you post a pic of the NMA figure against other 1/30 figs. Meanwhile here's a closeup pic of the NMA 111 Tiger from the TF website.

It is a bit hard to see size issues on photos but I agree that the figure does look a bit small for the turret, but then the current K & C Panzer crew figures look huge on their tiny tigers.

Most collectors don't seem to worry to much about this matter, but I have to say that mixing scales in a product range, especially in the same set, does annoy me. For example my FOV 1/32 German tanks all seem to have 1/35 scale Panzer crew members that look suspiciously like copies of 1/35 plastic kit versions.

Bought the grey NMA Tiger.........Love the armor, but will not use the figure. Real undersized and poorly painted...almost amaturest..Michael

Michael, I was hopeing I might have been off base with this small scale figure issue, but you confirm what I thought.

Looking at mine now he does appear a little on the wee side but so do half my K&C tank figures especially the Hummel crew. Then I look over at the Wittmann Tiger crew who almost seem overtly huge compared to the the other K&C stuff.
Still beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I love my tigers whatever!
