A 1:30 King Tiger (Winter Version) done the "Figarti Way" is long over-do IMO.....Sorry but other manufacturers offers and recent releases just don't match Figarti in quality or painting.......In looking over my Figarti AFV collection; Figarti produces some of the best AFV's out there, bar none.....This would really be something for them to consider especially if weathered and painted to the level of prior Figarti releases.....Would have no trouble selling out quickly.

Would be nice but, there are a few out and about so, if pushed, I would rather see a Jagdpanther

Couldn't agree more. Seeing Figarti's magnificent last release, the Tiger I, the natural step would be releasing a King Tiger, and if it is up to what they did on the Tiger, it's going to be a huge success!
A Jagdpanther, as also suggested here, would be equaly very welcome.

Hawkeye...
Look forward to seeing yours repainted. I have one repainted and, it will be going into the K&C thread in the next day or two. I do agree thats the best model I have seen done it even has full interior and is internally lit.

Couldn't Agree More Blue Max.....I have a couple of K/C King Tigers. One with the Porche Turret and one with the Henschel Turret. I am not really satisfied with either one but nothing else is available
.... The detail and paint is only fair on these thus requiring costly/time consumming re-paints.....I decided to pass on the CS King Tiger after seeing it in the flesh.... it just did not look right to me..... The recent Figarti release of the Winter Tiger I was very successful.....The Figarti Tiger I is argueably the best detailed/ painted 1:30 scale winter tiger released by anyone to date (including HB) and at a fair price point for the quality delivered.......Figarti AFV's and Artillery are simply EXCELLENT........I also would not hesitate to purchase a Figarti Winter King Tiger.....FIGARTI DOES IT RIGHT{bravo}}{bravo}}

I would like to see another Konigstiger added to what has been released. The latest K&C was a lot better than the previous ones in terms of scale though, I do like the early versions. Figarti could make a winter wash version and, it would be a help if they did, as we all expect winter wash to come of and, would not be a surprise when the paint falls off!!!!
Seriously, I would like to see a version and, it was one of those things that I would have really liked to see from HB I don't see it happening though somehow!!!

Shock and awe is supposed to be 1 item, but just think how much shock and awe one could recieve if figarti came out with a column of a panzer division during the battle of the bulge. King tigers, panthers, mkivs, wespes, opel maultiers,wirblewinds, opel trucks, 251/1's, demag 1 ton, nebelwerfers, steyr, opel radio trucks, rappenschleppers, kettenkraftrads, 8ton semi prime movers,
pumas. Stugs. Its endless. All set up nicely in chicago. I am hoping.

Mitch, I have numerous Figarti AFV's and Artillery and have had paint flaking problems with ONLY 1 item which was promptly rectified by Figarti with a replacement.....I believe that they have handled the situation quite well as far as I can see and I would not hestiate to purchase their products. Again I think Figarti AFV's are "much better quality" then the "current alternatives".....Did you purchase the new Figarti Winter Tiger I?? What do you think?.....I think Figarti hit a Major League Home Run with that release. Best Regards Frank

All I know is that I haven't bought a Figarti vehicle since the ISU-152. Nothing has struck my fancy. To me at least, it's been one dud after another while I was hoping they would produce more of their earlier winter 88 set, given they only made 100 & they vaporized literally overnight. Aside from Panzer Yellow which I am not a fan, everything has been esoteric. I gave them a good idea last year which I hope they are working on, I think you guys would like it.

So do you now think Figarti AFVs are much better quality than FL? Or JJD? Or TGM?
