Hey folks just wanted to share with you i just got AFV Clubs new tiger 1 late its stunning !
from what i have seen it will arrive in 7 days ! my good pal Lucas in Taiwan just pick up a load of afv club kits for me
including this and the new 88!

Price? I can't decide whether to go for this or the new DML one - world has gone mad! Me, deciding what Tiger to build...Crazy...Jim

Pricewise there doesn't seem to be much difference, but I doubt all those extras will come with the AFV one?

Vinnie

Does this version come with zimmerit? I have never seen a late Tiger 1 without that stuff

:-) yeah who'd have thought it eh ? its in noway as complete as the Dragon offering from what i understand ?
but is a very accomplished kit it lays the older tamiya ones out flat!
value wise i think the dragon one is the one to go for ,but i get AFV Club kits cheap, so it was worth picking one up ,you may know already but it includes the now standard metal barrel ,working torsion bar suspension and adjustable track tension Chad i'm affraid i dont think so ? .

When can you start the review? Jim

Well as long as there isnt anyone doing one already hopefully next week when it arrives ?
incidentally the tracks are rubber band type
and look very good from the photo he sent me ?time will tell
:-) K

glad to hear of your good fortune!!!!keep us informed on the quality!!!!!

Kenaz,
looking ofrward to seeing pics of the '88

Yeah Davy me too
hedidnt haveanypics of that yet but i can only imagine :-)

No me neither......but in theory it could be true, as zimmerit wasn't applied after september/october 1944 anymore.....

So dragon has a early Tiger and AFV club has the final version?

I still wanted to buy another Academy Tiger early (makes 2 early Tigers here) but a late version with zimmerit would be very cool to have....

Yes Martin it would be an excellent addition to a kit for them to include zimm
