I'm looking to finally do a Nagmachon build and I am eyeballing making one of the Doghouse II versions. Both Hobbyboss and Tiger make a version of this. Any opinions on what the better one is, pros and cons?

Thanks

I made the tiger version. it's very well designed and builds very well. it also includes the chain for the side armour.

People actually differ in opinions. I have both kits and here's what I have gathered at least.

1) Hobbyboss one is apparently more accurate in dimensions, etc.
2) Tiger model has a good buildability but many parts are over-scaled.

In the end, your personal choice.

I can't comment on the Hobby Boss kit, but the Tiger Model one builds up into a nice representation of the real thing. Just make sure you don't attach the forward smoke grenade-launchers as these are not used on the late Nagmachon Doghouse. Mind you, this kit shares a lot of parts with the early Nagmachon (which is actually a mid-production...).
