This looks like the old 1:32 scale Tiger released quite a few years ago.
 
Identical in every respect to the 1/32 Pewter Figarti Tiger I; except for the color! Possibly old inventory repainted?
 
Where to get this ?

And how much does it cost ?

Possibly, although I had heard a couple of years ago from Rick Wang that inventory was almost exhausted. He also said at the time that Figarti woukd never make another tank like that again: expensive and fragile.

I have one of the first ones ever made. They made four different color and division schemes, each numbered from 1 to 200. I have number 1.

The paint quality of these (Figarti) Panzers is very poor. Who ever is producing them has a long learning curve to reach Figarti standards! The products all seem to be repants; nothing new to date. Time will tell!

The grey Tiger I has no detail painting of the tools. No wood color hafts or steel colord blades and tow cables. No rust colored mufflers or soot colored exhaust pipes and muzzle brake. No detail painting! Plus they are 1/32 and FOV does better paint than these. I could repaint some of my Figarti pieces in new colors and put them on Ebay for 3X what I paid for them; but that doesn't make me Figarti!

that just your opinion and going by the likes most people disagree with you , I doubt your found a better detail tank in 1/32 scale with a detail inside turret and you need to have a better look at the tank again as it does come with a muzzle brake and the tow cable is not moulded into the tank like some tanks you get today !
 
I have 1/25 scale models of the Tiger I and King Tiger with interior detail including the engine, articulated tracks, operating suspension, operating gun elevation gear etc. The detail at 1/24 is far superior to the detail at 1/32 and I can use the large 66-68 mm K&C and TCS figures with them for display. The Figarti 1/32 Tiger I was good for its day; but was blown away by the quality and detail of the Honor Bound Gold Tigers in 1/30; a level of quality that has yet to be exceeded IMHO. Interior details are no longer a big feature in models. I have a 1/18 scale 21st Century Toys Tiger I with interior turret detail, engine detail and all hatches open and close for $35.00 in 2001. Ebay still has them for sale and JSI has released an improved version. The paint of the JSI version is better than the Grey Figarti Tiger I and 25% of the price.

If you want detail FOV 1/16 tiger and king tigers are the pick of the bunch
