Has anyone got the new DAK tiger from Dragon (6608)?
Would like to hear about your impressions, thoughts etc. I have ordered one from my local hobby shop and it is on its way.

I'm currently working on it now.Very nice,it follows the construction pattern of previous Dragon Tigers.It's more detailed though.Instructions are busy because of the diffrences in the individual tanks,and color callout for camo is wrong.

see here: http://tiger1.info/EN/6608-colours.html

But it is moving along nicely and I'm finding it enjoyable.

I can show you photos of the completed kit, if that's helpful.

I would love to see it in completed status, David. Thank you!
I have about 10 different Tigers from CH/Dragon.
Yes, referring to did everyone get instead of got, my command of English sucks. It's not my first language... I like the way you pointed it out so nice, though.

This is Dragon's sample, which you can also see on their 6608 Tiger page.



They didn't get the rear wall to sit correctly. Is that an actual problem?
