I say not 'buy it', but 'have a look'...out of sheer curiosity.

$53 USD with a full interior? Hard to believe.

Hmmm has it 2-piece gun barrels or not?

The Porsche turret version has 4 gun barrels.. so it seems these are 2-piece ones but the Henschel turret versions have only 1? Little confusing.

I use Opera and Chrome. In both browsers pages load quickly with certain delay on images to show up.

H, Paul!

I was only joking! I DID have a look, and it DOES LOOK GOOD!

I just don't have a need for another Tiger in my collection, to be honest...

They go to all the trouble of making a fine model with interior, and PE, but then they go and make plastic tow cables with cleaning rods and clamps all molded together. Still, looks nice, and a good price. Sure beats Dragon!

That does look extremely impressive. I've got to admit I really like the fact that some manufacturers are doing vehicles with full interiors these days. I'd never build one myself however as I'd feel frustrated doing all that internal work only for it never to be seen. What I would like to see however is a suggestion of an interior on some tanks for those of us who don't want to go the whole hog.I like to have hatches open, either with a crewman in situ while on the move or hatches open while being rearmed etc. The big void inside is a bit off putting. It's nice to see some of the newer firms on the block tackling the old stalwarts (which I suppose are the bread and butter of the hobby. Tigers, KT's, T34's)but adding something new to the mix. Hopefully it will shake the more established manufacturers out of their comfort zones. Biggles I agree with you on the cables. All that effort and they put plastic ones in. You'd have thought that they'd have put wire ones in as they're that much better and aren't expensive. Any ideas on the cost of this?

Any pics of the paint schemes of these.

They look well detailed and the pics of the interior colours looks great.

Cheers Cuny12

Nice value for the money. Definitely an added bonus that the interior is included. I enjoy doing full interior builds. However, it can get a little pricey utilizing the CMK interiors!

I only see a single piece that could be a gun barrel on the sprues, so it doesn't like it's in half.
