I would say its the same version that K&C used for all the recent models from Kursk, snow tiger , grey with just some added bits like the track guard at the left hand side and, the added side brackets for the side guards. More along the lines of the winter washed Tigers from late 42/early43 retaining the panzer III rommelkiste.
Can't see from the picture any divisional markings as to what its depicting so, would expect 502 or 503 seems to be fitting with what K&C have already announced with the grey version
Its nicely painted in faded winter wash and, they have just got much better in their winter applications. Nice AFV and, the winter sherman looks good although, I am not a fan of shermans its nice to see a different variant.

I do like the whitewash & weathering on the Tiger. I also like the all-gray Tiger. So many Tigers, so little room. It is a puzzle. But I do like them so. ^&grin -- Al

hi mitch, no markings as far as i can see on the winter tiger; you are right, according to KC description, its 503....
LOL. I'm afraid my better half would notice a new shelf and the Tigers on it might then become battle damaged casualties. I must think in stealth mode if I am to add new Tigers. She doesn't mind my addiction to Tigers and WW1 planes, thank goodness, but I try not to be too obvious. :wink2::tongue: -- Al
its a "headache".....! i am trying to resist getting both tigers but as i know, resistance is usually futile! space is becoming an issue.....

Excellent stuff my friend, I have the sandbagged Sherman but no whitewashed version yet so I'm in for this one. Figures look good too, must say the Bulge range has long been one of the very best K&C produce, year after year of superb releases for this range{bravo}}
