Thanks for the news, I've waiting for a long time for the Mid, but Im a little bit surprised, it has no Zimmerit

Hello,
This is actually available for pre-order on the dragonusaonline website here.
I'm disappointed that for $64.99 they do not even give you magic tracks as an option. They know they will sell out on this one since its a Tiger, but for 65 bucks, you'd expect a lot more in terms of PE and other multimedia parts.

The time when DML boxes where full of goodies is over. I don't even dream about it anymore (I just grab every Premium kit I can find LOL). I ask myself if there's no a hidden pact between DML and after market makers.....
IMHO in few month we will have a zimmeritted Tiger mid (but not the command version LOL) as a regular green box.
it's nice to have a picture here:

Hey! So I think I can see at least 3, and maybe 5, new kitties rumbling down the path! : Command, non-Command, middie w/ zimmerit. Heck, there MUST be some "famous" Tiger Ace lurking - so perhaps a "named mid Tiger" nummer 4 could come of this! And then there could be some "Early-Mid" version to be legit without that pesky zimm! Wow! I think I see a whole hands-worth looming on the styrene horizon!
If Dragon was your stock-broker or some investment banking house, one might say something like this being "stirring the pot"...
As cool as the pics look... and they DO... I'm maybe cured of my modest Tigermania infection and I'll stay with the 7 (and yeah, almost all "premium" versions) already in my stash to-date, Thank You, Mr. Dragon!
OK. Now if they happened to come out with a Tiger w/ Wurfrahmen... LoL!

so, it's not accurate if I build this kit without Zimmerit?

zimmerit = december 43 - september 44
so in this case you should put it on.

I am probably spoiling the fun, but could they provide us with a Mid- that ISN'T going to be OOP and unavailable a few weeks after release? How about a mainstream Early Tiger too!

Yeah, right. And deprive all the styrene starved saps the pleasure of ponying up $200+ after a bidding frenzy on Ebay? Me, me, me. Only thinking of yourself.

Nice to see a much-neglected niche market finally being catered for (titter
).
As I already have 6 unbuilt Tiger 1s waiting in the stash, I think I'll probably pass on this one.

Get those 20X Optivisor lenses ready.
Aftermarket has that covered. CMK will release an engine kit, all 4923 parts. Aber will co-release a PE set of Wehrmacht manufacturers' codes to put on all those parts.
