winter tiger (2 Viewers)

Hi all, I am curious to know if anyone has recieved the new winter tiger?? it's a beautiful tank I just want to make sure it"s compatiable with my k&c stuff before I purchase it,George from minutemen and I talked at length today about size differences and I know all companies are a little off here or there but I hope the 1:30th scale stays close in size with all companies involved, thanks for any input....Sammy

Just received Winter and Arnhem Tigers and WOW. Pieces are outstanding. And the figures are better than K&C in detail. I never thought I would say that but in my humble opinion, someone has finally surpassed K&C in figure quality. The Winter Tiger figures are especially nice. KUDOS to Collector's Showcase. I will be buying more of your items.

I had a look at all three Tigers, both Horsch's, the facades and the Berdan Sharpshooters today and I'll second the WOW review as well. The Tigers are beasts, love the winter one, but the other two aint' chopped liver to say the least.

Love the facades too and the sharpshooters are, well..........sharp.

Here are some pics!!! The figure next to the tanks are K&C for scale.

Ah Yes, very nice. You can never have too many Tigers. I can't wait for my CS Tigers to arrive. Thanks for the post SPICK0001.

Nice Tigers SPICK0001. I like the way they did the whitewash with the underlying color showing through. I see you chose the late style steel road wheels.

The more detail the better. Always good to have the bling bling.

The Tiger looks great. The 88 gun looks really impressive and correct scale.

Pity the Zimmerit.

All in all, an excellent product from CS, and i'll be looking ever more closely at their Armor now, starting with the Stug.

"Pity the Zimmerit."

Why, what's wrong with it?

Some people have suggested that it looks to pronounced but it may have been exaggerated by the closeup shots as the zimmerit looks ok in the pics below.

Btw, I reckon the 88 is closer to 1/24 scale, but it's still a nice set.

I thought I remembered reading that Brian said there may have been too much zimerit.

Very nice tanks. Can't wait till I get mine.

Mine arrived today and I'm VERY pleased with it. Excellent detail on the vehicle and the figures. This was my first CS vehicle-it WON'T be the last.

i am thrilled with these reviews as i await my Wittman Tiger. has anyone compared them in size to the KC Tigers? -- lancer

 

[steel wheels]

Extremely excellent value for the money. Great looking tank.

 

[sv288]

If you compare it to the Winter King & Country you will notice that the KC one is smaller because of KC mistake on that piece just like the old king tigers.

Got my Wittmann tank today. Decals could be better, but in other ways this is a terrific Tiger. Seems the right scale and just really nice looking. Great job by CS.

I am stealing this photo to put to bed the Zimmerit issue...Michael

I saw another German tank photo recently that also had very pronouned Zimmermit, which made me appreciate the Collectors Showcase version even more.

Michael:

Thanks for re-posting the picture as it makes a clear cut statement! The CS Tiger is well done & accurate. I finally was able to see it live and it gets my must purchase vote. Thanks again!
