Frank...
Its still one too many problems that should not happen. I have a number of the german sets and, everyone has had paint issues to a small or large degree ending in the last one I was bought the Nashorn. All have had to be repainted which, luckily enough I can do. I have had a number damaged and, had to replace the hand rail on the mosar as it came broken. So, no I don't think Figarti are the best of the alternatives because of that fact and, the fact I stated a while back that I also don't consider their figures to be good. They do make interersting AFV's but, to much leaves one thinking I would rather have alternatives for the similar cost.
The new Tiger I... I mentioned when it was aired at the chigago show looked poor and, the paintwork is very rudimentary and not attractive or, correct IMHO. I also think the metal barral and, the fact that the metal is clearly showing is a step too far and, for all purposes tacky and, redundant as, these are not toys we play with they are collectables for display in situ or, in a diorama.
I was going to get one and, it was ordered after seeing pics that Brad placed of his at home as the paintwork did look better and, I would have repainted it to my own liking but, a few others were placed for viewing and, two people one on here and, one I know personally, sold theirs for the very reasons of poor quality so, it was binned. I think everyone looks at this as a success story but, there are only 100 max and, its a Tiger and, its connected to Wittmann so, it was obvious it was going to sell.
I have seen one up close recently and, compared it with My own HB tigers and, I still cannot see how anyone can say its superior in any way shape or form. I also think its sits wrong and, as their last tigers did looks stumpy its hard to say, but, it just does not sit well.
Sorry, if this annoys anyone who has it but, thats my honest opinion. I think we will see lots of these changing hands for silly money but, it will be down to number not quality that will see it do so.

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[/QUOTE]
