Their last Facebook post is from beginning of 2019. I was hoping for another incarnation of their Combat Boat 90 kit, maybe US or Sweden.

This is the answer I got from them when I snatched the postmaster adress on their archived website via google (I asked them about their erc-90 f4 kit :

"hello
We're already open for business
This is our new product, which is still in the testing stage and will be put into the market later"

KMT, which collaborated with tiger for their erc-90 f1 lynx, hasn't heard of them since may 2019.

Their website always lagged a year or two behind their latest announcements. Now it's defunct altogether...

I have the feeling that I should get the CB90 kit before the company is gone. I saw one for less than 90 Euros.

Oh, Man,

I really hope that Tiger Models is NOT out of businesses!!

They create some great kits and choose some very cool, often unique subjects.

After a long build, I just started painting their late Nagmachon doghouse today. Have also out together their AMX 10RCR, which was also fun.

And I was also hoping to see a U.S. version of their CB90 kit...

Fingers crossed!!!!

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

56 EUR on Hobbyeasy. Unfortunately airmail to Germany (apart from speedpost) hasn't been resumed yet (to Austria has).

I've also been waiting for an F4 Sagaie from them, but I'm beginning to worry it might never come. Maybe I have to get the Lynx now...

Finally bougth the CB 90 for 90 Euros. Impressive kit BTW.
TM gives you a couple of drilling options. One are marked "S" (for Swedish?) and other are marked "A" (for America?) Maybe there is hope for a Riverine Command Boat? BTW the ship has complete interior, but no hint how to paint it, shabby isn`t it?

Hmmmmmmm...with what you show Robin, their AML 90 is not even listed, and it's been out for quite some time. Odd.

Yea, I've read it...went around the web myself lurking about for Tiger Model...no luck either. If they are not around, what makes their AML 90 so plentiful as of yet, for example??

Indeed, so I agree they seem in business I certainly hope so, have every one of their french kits. The latest one, the AML is absolutely fantastic.

I guess my post went unoticed on this thread. I got an answer from tiger models a few weeks ago, from their postmaster email adress which was found on their google archived website. They consider themselves as still open for business, and their next kit to be released (sagaie) is still in it's testing phase. Gotta put Covid in the balance, maybe we're going to hear from them soon.

Just in case, I grabbed a VBL and AMX-10RC. I really like that someone was doing modern French stuff. I was hoping to see a AMX-10P someday.
