Isn't the rule that the first to suggest it gets number 1.
I think if you back thru OTHER HB threads you'll find that'll be me.

I sense a Anna Nicole situation. We will be in court for years. How about we cut it in half like a Figarti?

Combat,
If KC did a AK tiger I don't think they would use thier previous molds, theres a fair bit to change. The commanders copula has to be changed trom a swivel to a lift hatch, hull and tracks need updating. More then likely they'll redo from scratch. Most of the AK sets are now being released, if KC does release a AK Tiger I don't think we'll see it 'till later this year, maybe.
I'm still leaning toward HB not only for the quality of thier product but I'll be able to choose from the various versions released that I don't have.

How does that explain me having the first Barkmann?

KC has been known to cut a few historical accuracy corners in churning out product. I think that is almost a necessity given how much product they produce. HB will do a great job and I will definitely buy one when it comes out. Just concerned that any of us will live that long given that there are a number of pending HB items that we have been waiting on for some time. Shermans, infrared Panther set, damaged Panther etc. If the HB Tiger is just in the planning stages, we could be talking a very long time.
Appears you didn't even want a Tiger, Brad, so you're not even in the running!
Maybe Ana will do it the fair way and have a lottery., but only for those who truly wanted (heaven forbid) ANOTHER TIGER! Fred

Not just another tiger, but the best one ever made and in real 1:30 scale. If you don't want one you can always go over the Brand X cheerleading thread and fill yourself to the brim with girlish glee!

Darn right, Michael, and she'd be more than happy to kick your butt with them while you're bent over oooohing and aaaaahing over those $900 warbirds!
Sorry, Ana Fred

Sorry Fred, at that price I won't even be looking at their pictures anymore. I only have one plane and it's a 21st century Stuka to go with my K&C AK diorama. To begin collecting aircraft is to begin again and I am too far into WWII, Napoleon and John Jenkins to begin anew. So I guess I want a Tiger too. Just make it as good as the Panthers and the Tunisian version sounds good to me.
Welcome abroad, mate. And not just as good.....better!
By the way, Michael, my mom's 94 so even with her combat (sorry Doug) boots on it wouldn't have hurt to bad.
Ya see, Ana, there's another one sold!

But, if it's a Wittman version, you guys miss out
Oz, I think it's going go down like this, Ana will make all three of the versions you, Doug and I have suggested, therefore:
Oz gets #1 Wittman
Doug gets the # O. Carius
And the #1 Tunisian goes to
, thank you, thank you very much. All the non believers can have the rest.

Not got the K&C Panther, but have seen it in the flesh at shows etc.
Not as 'colourful' as K&C, i think someone already said as much, the camo scheme is more subdued, the zimmerit is very well done, the detail is better (IMO) things like crisper sculpted tools, seperate wire tow cables etc.
It looks more realistic (again, IMO) than K&Cs, but the figures aren't up to K&C standard. Good, but not K&C good. They're also thinner than the K&C figures, but do combine well enough.
Very happy with it. Should go nicely with the HB Tiger you promised me.
