Hello,

I have few questions on AFV Club’s Tiger I kits (Ausf. Early and Final) in 1/48 scale:

1) Do these maintain the typical high quality of Club’s 1/35 line in 1/48 as well?

2) Any recommended PE and aftermarket sets?

3) I’m pretty new to German WWII armor so pardon my ignorance. What would be my options for non-camouflage markings? I’m guessing Final version is pretty much out of the list with this “restriction”. For Early I can see DAK yellow or grey for Russian campaign (Kursk?). Am I right? Is there any other option (Italy, Normandy)?

Thanks a lot

Here are reviews for you (the kit originally was released by Skybow)

These are originally Skybow kits and not AFV Club kits. Having said that, they are the best 1/48 scale Tigers out there. There are reviews on Perth http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/48/48reviews.htm. I know Hauler does PE sets, and Verlinden did an engine. AFV Club does some individual track links too.

They are both excellent kits.I believe they are superior to the Tamiya Tigers.The late comes with nice molded on zimm,and both come with PE screens

Thanks guys for pointing out the the Skybow origin. I wasn't aware of that.
