Re: Some reviews

If this is indeed a representation of a Tiger which took part in the Ardennes Offensive in 1944 was the original vehicle left in this camo scheme, or was it given its coat of white at some stage?

It's a common misconception that the Germans white washed their tanks in the Ardennes Offensive. There is no photographic evidence of it and most historians and veterans agree that they did not (though it did happen elsewhere in Europe). Most people don't even realize that it didn't even snow until after the Ardennes Offensive started.
