Hopefully, in 2010 we'll finally get a grey Tiger Tank from King & Country. I would buy 2 at least, if not more.

Got the Tamiya Masterwork 1/35 Grey Tiger years ago & don't think it can be beat for the money

I hope we see the grey tiger for Christmas. K&C already has the Tunisian Tiger, so it should be relatively easy to do an early grey one. I have no doubt it would sell out.

2011...............Don't think so.................................^&confuse

2012.............YEAH fingers crossed.........................:)

Love the GREY TIGER Randall did looks awesome.
 
The Grey Tiger I was asking for was of the first Tigers deployed at Leningrad. But as K&C was not doing Eastern Front, I suppose Andy called it Snow Tiger instead. The snow Tiger is the Leningrad Tiger - So I wouldn't expect another grey Tiger anytime soon.

I would like to have seen some different colour versions of the early tiger they have out now. I am currently repainting some tigers to represent the famous ''Tiki'' grey base colour with yellow camo on top and a plain grey Gross Deutschland variant.

I quite like the variant K&C has available at the moment. I would hope the next visit for K&C and the tiger 1 is either a very early prototype or, a late war. The last three in 1/30th have all been early variants and the SL and Wittmann were also even though the wittmann represented his last AFV.

We don't know what version Wittmann was killed in other than it was a command tank with extra radio equipment and less ammo. There is only one photo of the destroyed tank and the identifying type of wheels (rubber rimmed or steel rimmed) and gunsight (binocular or momocular) and cupola hatch (vertical opening or slide opening)are not visible. So we don't know if it is a mid-production or late-production Tiger - it's not likely an early Tiger. Wittmann's Tiger had zimmerit in the photo of the destroyed tank so it must have been produced December 1943 or later.

I read somewhere when I was doing some work on the wittmann death that the issues that came up with the tank and its identification were down to it being almost a hybrid, different parts from differing Ausf not just one **ll specific ausf.

I will dig out what I had on that and let you know. It came from the records when I was heavily interested and, had time to do primary research.

It would be interesting if you had some concrete info. The discussion came up a year or two ago when the accuracy of the K&C model was questioned. The K&C model had no zimmerit, but the Tiger Wittmann was in did as shown by the photo of the destroyed Tiger. I did some research and noted the same debate on other forums. Fmethorst and Tullock also investigated even to the point of tracking Tiger chassis numbers. But other than weak inferences, there was nothing conclusive about the gun sight, wheels, hatch cover or a few other minor features.. The tank could easily have been a hybrid as they were common at that time with the mid-production Tiger transitioning to a late-production model - not all the changes happened at the same time but over a period of several months.
