Lots of good pictures there, Stagger, most of which I've not seen previously  :bigthumb:

Heh I’ve always wondered about that weird tiger - it’s marketed on its own as ‘Hollywood tiger’ but I never figured what they were referring to - now I know

Yes, it would seem to be a model of the fake Tiger used in the film. I dread to think how many people have brought it thinking it was a model of the real thing :-)

I would hope none, since the product copy clearly says that it's the mod for the movie

The problem is when it's out of the box and on the table. I could see a lot of people thinking it's a model of an actual Tiger.

I could link you to a hundred arguments over the colour of helmets, the true meaning of German field grey, the right colour of camo for a tank - the list is endless

There’s also a guy on the Combat Mission forum who from as far back as me joining in 2001 is a famous pain in the ass, will argue the contrary every time until you pull your hair out - there’s a guy with the same name on the bolt action FB page and after a few recent epic posts I realised it’s him and the ‘asshole’ is strong with this one

The CM forums always seemed to attract the more extreme nutters.

Paint it the way you want, then take a picture and send it to me. I'll Photoshop it with rainbow helmets, pink camo, lucky stars, blue diamonds, the whole bit, then send it back to you. You can post it and give them a stroke. :)

There is a group of chaps that constantly paint their panthers pink for the obvious reason, it causes the rivet counters to melt
