It has the wrong track-cable layout on the hull side.

Biggest issue I had with the kit was the front mudguards which are molded on, unlike the rear ones which are either separate parts or PE.

The zimmerit looks intimidating in the instructions but went on really well, even on the turret and gun mantle. Its also very easy to battle damage.

Overall I really enjoyed this kit and my F13 is just waiting for her paintjob.

Thanks David - I wonder if you've written a book where you comment on every facet of a Tiger?

I don't see the point of books when we have the Web?

I go to David's site constantly for build advice on Tigers (including this kit) If a kit has too many errors to overcome at my skill level I move on. I typically choose my kits based on David's reviews. Although a book would be nice I cannot see myself not referring to David's web site for reference. Gino aka "Heavy Arty" and Pavel on this forum are my go to Abrams guys

I love this place

Happy modelling
