Although the Tiger’s ‘Winter Whitewash’ is beginning to wear-off the tank stands in all its glory... As a ‘Command Tank’, the model sports 3 x Radio Antennas, and 2 x
top turret hatches that open and close allowing collectors, if they
wish, to place figures in the ‘open’ position or have everything ‘bolted
down’ for battle. The main gun also elevates and depresses as required.
Interestingly, although the tank itself has a battle-worn appearance the
‘kill’ markings on the 88mm gun are brand-new. This was because, for
propaganda purposes, it made for a better picture to ‘show the folks
back home’ just how successful Michael Wittmann and his crew had been. In reality, tank commanders would not have wished to draw even
more enemy attention to themselves, their crew and vehicle with such an
ostentatious and obvious display.

This SIX-FIGURE set portrays the moment when Jochen Peiper, also in
black tank uniform, greets the junior officer Michael Wittmann and his
crew. As you see Peiper gives the almost-casual half ‘Heil Hitler’
salute while the younger Wittmann gives the full, extended right arm
salute in reply. Wittmann’s Crew stand-at-attention waiting to be
introduced.
