Meng interior for the Konigstiger will be sold also as a separated set, so as the workable tracks.

They look too flat and on the large side. I'm glad that I have Masterclub hex nuts and bolts to replace them.

Bill I agree with you. I hear grumbles about some modern kits and I think back to some of those 60's kits and just chuckle. Today's not up to standard kit would have been so much better than any kit back then.

Just wondering how this is supposed to be built/displayed. The pics seem to show some outside armour on the engine deck. But also show the front with and without driver bulkhead and with/without frontal armour.

Or... is the choice ours :-)

what is in the kit exactly?

It's an optional accessory set to the Meng KT kit for those who prefer their cats with guts.

Jagtiger with full interior should follow this, just dreaming...

i like this approach,you buy what you really need/want,you want the super detail?...you buy the lot...you want just the plain kit?...you have a awesome kit at the price of a 1/72...

Just a thought... At what point (damn soon I suspect) will the molding of the new kits be nicer/cleaner than the original vehicle and its parts? I am looking at the track in the picture.

Sorry perhaps I wasn't clear

what I'd like is a cut away armour... so you can see all the internals from one sside, but outside hull from the other.

seems a waste to only view that detail through tiny hatches?

Personally I think the idea of marketing a seperate interior is fabulous as it allows me to detail the insides of at least a couple of those Dragon King bTigers that I seem to have collected over the years that otherwise have zilch inside. As to cut-aways: as I seem to be in a rush on such things I use my Dremel with the appropriate cut-off wheel. Works well provided you control the RPMs.

Does anyone know if a Porsche variant interior will also be offered?

Depending on what you want to use, that might not be doable. The Meng and Dragon hulls might not have the same interior dimensions.
