It goes really well with the one winter crew. I did see 2 handles. Not sure where they go


 
Ended up getting an app to resize the pics. The Tiger is exactly as advertised. Extremely well done.

Thanks Sammy. I think I will hold off a bit on the Tanks for bit. But very happy with it. Did you order the winter Tiger?

I want to Brad, but my toy soldier funds are much more limited these days, I did pick up the Normandy wounded/medic set, but as far as big ticket items I will have to sit on the sidelines for awhile, but I'm ok with that, as long as I have my toes in the sand sort of speak when it comes to the hobby I'm fine, plus I can admire the photos from the fellas like you who post some great photos!!.
 
Great photos. I am happy to see FL has achieved the same level of quality as the Figarti Tiger I late production version. I was amazed they went with a late rather than early production Tiger I, since they have specialized in early war Panzers.

A King Tiger would be more suitable to the BOB IMO.
 
I spent an hour admiring this tank in the pub last week.

If anyone can take pictures of the oil spill at the back of the tank then I think that's a defining piece of quality. Small things show high detail
 
Nice Looking Tiger....But some missing and /or bent side fenders would have been a nice touch.
 
Hello guys, I just opened mine, Although it is very detailed tiger ; I am not all too fond of the winter paint/ whitewash effect with shades of green and brown hue showing through... and what looks like spray painted spots^&confuse to simulate a worn whitewash....I was hoping for a better painted/weathered winter model....The winter weathering is just not realistic IMO....I will definitely be doing some "paint adjustments" to this whitewash to achieve a better more realistic effect.

...in my opinion this is the worst weathering pattern ever used in a First Legion AFV...:(
 
This is clearly a matter of opinion. I was admiring the paint job on my winter Tiger. I think the whitewash simulation is very effective and better than the painting on my winter PzIII and PzIV.

The FL Normandy Tiger I was a bit bright for my taste and could have done with more weathering. The three color Tiger I camouflage was done best by Honor Bound and Figarti and their Zimmerit was also better scaled to the Panzer IMO. Winter camouflage should not be over weatherd as it defeats the purpose; as contrast should be minimized.

I'm not sure about this one. What are the sporadic splotches of green paint on the hull fenders and road wheels supposed to be?
