Hi

I was looking at a Tank Workshop product, the Partial Interior for Tamiya Tiger I. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this kit, and whether you think it's worth the money.

Cheers.

I was wondering about these partial interiors myself.

This question came up about Tanworkshop interiors in another forum. Most comments were suggesting that, their interior sets were mainly suitable for what would be seen through the open hatches. So I suggest if you are planning to display your model as a cutaway, see the kit before you purchase!

Happy modeling...

I done the partial one for my S33, it's alright, nothing special, and the instruction is really really not clear.

I'll echo that. The Panther partial interior is very nicely molded and quite accurate, from what I can tell.

But the re-re-re copies of the instructions, and the inclusion of the instructions for the full interior set (there are not seperate instructions for the partial Panther, dunno about the tiger) made for "what goes where?" and "do I even HAVE that part?" construction issues.

Mike, the tiger is the same thing.

80% of my time was wasted trying to figure out if I have this part or that part.
