Tiger I....

That's because the Tiger is so heavy!

 

[Wayne Little]

Got a King Tiger book like that...

 

[Lucky13]

What's the Academy Tigers like, those with interior or as a whole, any good?

 

[Wayne Little]

I built one, without the interior, years ago I thought it was a good kit, but
I think the Dragon stuff is probably on a higher level now...


here is a shot of her, currently resides in the States as it was built for a friend.

I agree with Wayne.Comparing to the Dragon kit the Academy one is quite basic now.

 

[Lucky13]

If I can affords it, I'd love to get the Tiger I for a sPzAbt.505 and a Panther A for 5th SS Wiking....or 11th SS Nordland. Could be cool to try and do a small diorama, like something with the Kovel encirclement for Wiking,, Narva or Tannenberg Line - Courland Pocket for Nordland.
But the 1313 below is very tempting too!

I actually have the Tiger I from Dragon in the OP. Great model but I lost some of the pieces for the roadwheeels.

I am currently working on a Panther D by Dragon. Great model but my schedule makes the process slow( been in progress for a year at least).

 

[Lucky13]

Got a Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger from Dragon stored away....
Too bad that it cost a fortune to get to my stuff!

 

[Amsel]

Dragon is my favorite manufacturer for AFV's. I would participate in any non-sanctioned group builds for armor. (Only if it's German though).

 

[Lucky13]

Started a thread for an unofficial WWII AFV GB. Was thinking that it could be an ongoing one, no time limit and only WWII....Allied or Axis.

 

[Lucky13]

Hmmmm......Academy or AFV Club 1/35 late Tiger I

 

[Airframes]

Or Italeri ......

 

[Lucky13]

Yeah....them too old chap. Have to admit that I'm at mo, kinda leaning towards the Academy puss......ever so slightly though.

 

[Airframes]

Don't blame you old chap. I want a reasonably priced mid-production Tiger, but they're all over the £25 mark, apart from Italeri, and that's OOP at the moment !

Hmmmm......Academy or AFV Club 1/35 late Tiger I

The Academy Tiger is not too bad, there is a couple of versions with and without interior detail, I've heard the AFV kit is real good....

 

[Lucky13]

True Master Wayne.....and not at a Dragon price either! Think that I'll be getting a few felines shortly, Tiger and Panther, need to get that 1313 done....

 

[Wayne Little]

Go for it!

 

[lesofprimus]

1313 looks real sweet Jan, never seen the double number on the turret before... I like it...

 

[Lucky13]

Well, as already been posted eleswhere, I got this wee feline.... 8)
Yup, will become the '1313' posted earlier here. Now I just need to find an mid-production '13' of some sort, quite tempted to get Academy's version of it....
