Just announced is the subject of the second tank type to be offered by Unimax in its 1:16 scale! It's Whittmann's Tiger I. The bad news is that they cutting down on the detail that was seen with their 1:16 King Tiger. Here's a link with the early information about this upcoming release:

Since you can pick up the KT, have it be part of a buy 2 & get one free offer, and pay "only" $379.95 with free shipping--it's not! Also with the KT, you get the cool wooden crate and two extra FJ soldiers (in addition to two tank crew figures). Check it out here:

So what your saying is that if you buy two of the King Tigers, you get them for $379.95 each and a third one free?

No--there are a group of products that Diecast Direct offers in the "buy 2, get one free" category. If your buy two from that category (including but not limited to another KT), you receive the third one for free. The free item is the lowest price of the three. In addition all are shipped for free because you bought the KT.

Did you notice Bill that they spelled Wittmann wrong in the little order box to the right of the ad. They spelled it with an "H", lol. Shame on them, hehe.

At least FOV got it right on their promotional picture.

I also spelled it incorrectly in one of my earlier posts. That's what happens when your dad is an engineer--even if he is mostly German!
