Wow. I got really excited when I saw this header for the "Tiger Tank" search I did on Ebay...

Frankly I'm still a little excited

While I'm not a big German armor fan, I found that to be the best Tiger tank model I have ever seen. I hope you bid on it...hate to see that slip away from you.
Man I wish the Germans produced more Tiger tanks like that. LOL

That is quite a model. I wonder where they found that particular camo scheme?

And the skin tones on that figure! wow.

Using my powerfully honed observation skills, I was able to pick out the vehicles "hull" outline through the camo. Excellent lines I must say. The builder sure knew what he was doing. Did anybody else notice the lack of zimmeritt? Also appeared to be an early model with the transport width tracks.... LOL... you guys rock. "Q"

I really enjoyed the camouflage. Although I was a bit confused with the double barrels. I thought the tiger had ONE 88 and not TWO 36's. That must of been a proto type. Nicely done though I must say. Still nice to look at. I wonder if the wife will let me add that to my references? Chris.

Has anyone else looked very closely at that?!

I'm sure there's supposed to be more visible detail.
I'd like to see the hatches opened...

...now what the heck does that mean? It sounds interesting though!

I was hoping by the description of 'Secert Tiger Tank' that it woulda been some secret version with ray guns. I guess I'm the only guy disappointed by that......

Picture suggests that this Tiger Tank diorama is set somewhere in the tropical area. Since when did the Germans invade the Caribbean? I doubt the historical accuracy of this set. It´s a "Secret" Tiger though, so how was I supposed to know where they used these...

Uh GUY'S, They might not have Invaded the Carribean (Exactly) But check your history, They did operate thier U-Boats out of that area, Perhaps this is one of the versions that gaurded their pens!!
