See, I said don't bother banking of retiring on a stash of those 'rare' cyberhobby Tigers. Whilst I believe not exactly the same as the really expensive DAK version, this will surely undercut the value of most of those kits.....

Do we have a release date? Is this a new kit or just a rerelease of an older kit? At this price and the fact that my hobby shop gives 25% off I will be getting a few of these kits.

This is nothing like the "DAK" version (which wasn't really "DAK" anyway).
This is much more like the "Wittman" kit.

I know jack sh*t about Tigers, but from what I read this has features in common with one of the early Wittmann Tigers, which currently some people try and sell for around $200.

Edit-David beat me to it.

No molded Zimmerit? Then again, it is Orange Box.

Looks good, pretty light on P.E. though, not even engine grills?
Still nice to see it.

true but $38 plus say $30 for PE and barrel is still a lot cheaper than $200 on Ebay. Is there a release date? I may have missed it

yes finally a much demanded model re-released, i just could not justify spending up ward of 400.00 for the Wittman kit that im going to build. Now i must preorder 10,000 kits to ensure the modelling universe is not thrown into turmoil, they must all be hoarded so they demand outrageous prices ebay

I read that the release is either "immediately" or a week or two. i have already contacted my LHS to check it out and order me a few.

Ah true, didn't really think that one out. Just seems a lot of the new DML releases have had Zimmerit lately.
