I finally pulled this beast out of retirement. This is the kit with the full interior(plus I bought PE for the interior and exterior). I started it about 2 years ago, and I had the interior finished at that time, except for the turret. Now I am going to give myself some PE gray hairs and try to finish this thing once and for all. :-)

I'll keep a straightjacket ready, I remember what happened when you were working on the Paladin LOL

I've seen those kits in the store. They look really nice. Be brave young man!

FSM magazine did a Tiger roundup in the May 2002 issue. Written by Bob Collignon, he say's one of his favorites is the Academy Tigers with full interior!!!

Here's some inspiration for you Chappy:

Enjoy!

Have fun building the Tiger,sounds like a good kit! I went the cheapo way and bought the Academy Tiger I (exterior) only kit,but am going to end up getting the full kit later on

Good luck to you Chappy. Remember if you get fustrated, back off and count to 10, go out to the kitchen, pour a glass of ice, throw in some bacardi and pepsi. Have a sip or two and get back in there to tame the tiger. You do excellent work and I know that will turn out super. Have fun partner. Chris

Let's See How many holes can I put into the Academy 35 scale Mid-Production kit??
Sorry Folk's I had a "REALLY BAD" experience with that particular kit. Though I am certain that had I known about this site and a few others that I have been toolong around on lately. The end results would have come out alot different. Anyway. I have ordered a NEW Tamiya E 1 kit from a fellow modeler who's selling alot of his stuff. SO I GUESS that means that I am going to give it another try later in the year. Have others that I have to finish before that. Will let you know how it comes out. Meanwhle: JIm I will give that picture posting effort another try early in this coming week. I received your e-mail today, And I appreciate your help.

Dagger: A weapon with a short pointed Blade: i.e. THE CUTTING EDGE !!

You had to bring that up didn't you???LOL That Paladin had WAY too much PE for a sane person....maybe thats what happened to me and why I am like this now

I will post some pictures of my progress :-)

pictures are now posted of the interior in the "On the Workbench" folder
