In my estimation - all three are good ones. They don't hail from the "dark" days of Tamiya offerings. Some of the guys here who are more into German WW II Armor than I am would probably give you deeper commentary.

All three are great kits and marked the begining of the new era of Tamiya Superkits, Funny they also were the Kits first did any AM support for aswell. The Tiger I being the first to get PE grills produced and the Panther the first to have Individual links made for it that wasn't in the kit. I hope you enjoy you new aquisitions STUG

I love this site, but the folks over at Missing Links have a "tweeks' list for the Tamiya (and DML ) panthers that cannot be beat! http://www.missing-lynx.com/
I've built the Tamiya Panther and "production turret" King Tiger and taken them to AMPS and done well with them.
I'm not really a Tiger guy.
I know for sure 2 of the 3 are very nice.
