Hi all...

I'm planning to buy the Tiger I late version from Tamiya ( TAM 89562). Can anyone tell me about this kit? And if any AM stuff is recommended, like a barrel, grills or PE?

Thanx in advance, John.

Hi john .i would think you will need zimmerite so go for a paste if you feel confidant or a resin zim. mirage do a good zimmerite and its very thin,but dont buy PE zim as the paint scratches off.i have done a couple of the Tamiys late Tigers and added friuls and jordi rubio gun barrel + pe grills.its silly that the aftermarket stuff adds up to more than the kit its self.hope i have helped you now get on with it and post them in progress pics.heres a link to the mirage zim http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=MIRRA505 cheers
