I really enjoy viewing a well designed model or war scene diorama but there's something about this that I find disturbing. Maybe I've watched Schindler's List too recently but an ornament decoration of a pair of SS sitting triumphantly on their Tiger is kind of pathetic to me. Even if the Tiger itself was on view I might give it the benefit of the doubt but this looks too much like nazi hero worship to me |

Wittmann was the Nazi poster boy… Though Bobby Woll wasn't at Villiers Bocage. |

They look superb! Excellent sculpting work. |

I agree with War Panda….this bizarre worship of Wittman the dedicated Nazi does not need any encouragement. |

I agree with WP and Sebastian. |

regarding Nazi worship, it's not just that the Tiger is not wholly present, it's that it's a non-combat setting. So you can't use it in a wargame, what are you going to do with it? Just sit back and admire it? Pretty strange… When I saw the title I actually was pretty excited, thinking it would be some sort of starter set. You know, a couple German tanks, some Brit tanks and infantry, a few bombed out houses, all in one package. Guess not. V/R,

Odd Wittman appears to have the Heer cap badge rather than the deaths head badge.
