04090 There is one thing you have to put your own

04090 Hi i got that tiger and you will have to put
your own zimmerit on as there is no after market
as of yet

Nice review,for a relatively cheap price a reasonable addition to one's Tiger collection...as always,however, there are those who seem to have some problem with the fact that companies produce multiple kit variations of WW2 AFV production runs. The answer would appear to be simple, you don't have to buy it and it would certainly be a relief for the rest of us to not read the same tedious drivel about rivets and the unimportance of supposedly "minor" details over and over again.

Hey, don't diss the tedious drivel. I quite like most of the tedious drivel.

Agreed. Imagine if other products were discussed the same as model kits?

"The Sumsang 5839304285 TV has Passive 3D which isn't quite as clear as other models..."

"HEY, who cares! Just watch whatever programs you want, it's a TV ! Technical details are not important!"

"You mean, they're not important to YOU."

"Yeah, so what?"

"So why are you reading a technical review?"

Er,a bit of a misunderstanding I do believe. I was clearly suggesting that those who dismiss discussion of technical points are somewhat"tedious" since clearly they could simply chose not to read such detailed reviews or, to buy the multiple versions of AFVs which kit manufacturers now offer.

It' encouraging to hear that the turret is new, but is it correct? In their earliest incarnations, Academy Tigers had (incorrect) symmetrical turrets (as did the earliest issues of Tamiya's mid and late Tigers from the early '90's). Tamiya quietly fixed the turret shape issue, but did Academy? And is the cupola finally in the right position? One unique mistake Academy made was to place the cupola too far aft and too close to the turret centerline. So, will this Tiger look goofy if placed amid the various Dragon, Tamiya or AFV Club Tigers?
