For those of you who want to see what this thing looks like out of the box here are a few pics for you. I'm very impressed with it so far. If you want to see more pics, let me know as I took about 35 or so to capture as much of it as possible. I can post whatever you want to see. Maybe this will help some make the decision whether to buy one or not. Enjoy. "Q"


Missing some minor roof detail, but otherwise a.o.k to me


The torsion bars. Very cool.

I think its a nice kit,speacaly the tursion bars.rear exhaust covers are a bit thick and i dont like the metal grills that come with the kit,so i used a set from eduard.I think the DML Tiger will knock spots of this kit with all there little extras,is it out yet?cheers

I've got the DML kit on pre-order and there is no indication of shipping . None of the chinese distributors have started hollering yet that they have it so I think we're not quite there yet. Looking at the pics from the AFV kit and comparing what the first Dragon Tiger1 3in 1 has...I think AFV will come out on the short end of the stick. NOt that it isn't a great kit, it's those little things like 2 piece turretversus 4, metal barrel and all the little extras that make the difference.

Looking at those pics, AFV-clubs tiger seems like a fine kit. I've just bought the dragon's initial tiger from the annual model expo held here in Helsinki this weekend. (I'll go there again today and take some photos) They also had that Afv-club kit for sale but I got the dml's early one. Mainly because it has those lovely extras, indi-tracks, and brass shells. Also, I noticed that the lower hull has separate side panels, so I can presume that the late model will have injection molded zimmerit panels.

Hey Matt,
I thought I was going to see a completed kit, and all I saw was pieces. The Shermans must have got there first

Completed kit? Me? No way, I don't build mdels anymore, I just buy them and hide them away :-) :-) Hopefully soon I can get this guy going. I have a commission build to knock out first and its a biggy. Andrea's 1/35 U-boat. Call me crazy, but it will be fun. "Q"
