    Tiger early

    Any thoughts on wich manufacturer makes the best early tiger 1/72 as in the battle of kursk I've got the dragon kit but dislike all the moulded on tools and rubber tracks in today's standards I feel it reduces it to a toy ,reason for asking I have a set of decals for a captured tiger at kursk with slogans daubed over it in red paint also panzer gray would make a break from 4BO. No Mr T I don't want to carve them off and make my own I'm still a out and out box basher as you full well know just I find this a real cheap shot by manufacturers .

    Hi Dave,

      Hi David

      I built the Fujimi kit a couple of years ago. I was very impressed with the kit. The tracks took some doing as they were a mixture of link and length. Cant remember if the tools were seperate or not. You can find details HERE

      Just found some old build pictures that might help as well
