Snow Tiger (WS177) (1 Viewer)

[Jagdpanther]

Hello guys,


I never bought this Tiger because of the paint scheme. So that's my ?. Is it for real? I dont think myself I have ever seen that type of paint scheme on a tiger. I'm sure this has been discussed before,but I must of missed it. And I think I am correct its a repaint of the S33 Tiger? It look's like the same tiger.

Are you asking about the camouflage pattern or the white/green colors? --- Larry

It's an early production Tiger and the sculpt is almost identical to S33. The colour scheme is that of a grey Tiger (not green) with a disruptive pattern of whitewash. The early tigers were painted grey. It looks grey in person.

I have this Tiger and as Terry says, it is most definitely gray with white camo. It is my favorite KC Tiger and is quite a nice model. -- Al

This particular Tiger was not equipped with radio's, therefore the antennae was not installed..............................

Is the Snow Tiger Turret Number "111" historically correct or just a make-believe turret number is used ?

I googled and can't find any Snow Tiger with Turret "111"

How is this for a "Supplied Antenna" It's there included in the box !
