Ok, I need your expertise here everybody. Im currently getting ready to build a Tiger. But with ALL the new kits out, I would like to know which is the best bang for the buck.

Im not a King Tiger fan. Im looking for a late Tiger tank.

Thanks in advance people !!

It depends on what version and what scale you are looking for. General rule of thumb is that Dragon has good kits for 1/35, Skybow for 1/48, and Revell for 1/72.

Best bang for buck is most likely the AFV club/Skybow 1/48 Tiger late version. Comes with zimmerit pre moulded and PE screens for the engine deck. It is also very well detailed and easy to build.

If you are after 1/35 then the dragon kits win hands down in my opinion.

DML Alfred Kurzmaul (6416) if you can find it. If not probably DML 6406; late 3-in-1 Tiger IMHO/ but you will need to do home-made Zimmerit.
