The proprieter at a local hobby shop has just told me on the phone that the new Dragon Tiger I Late will not be coming to town any time soon... apparently there is something wrong with it and it's being withdrawn indefinetly. He may be wrong but there you go...
Have you guys noticed anything untoward?

Puzzled...

I'm building one... I've not noticed anything serious. A few tweaks are needed http://tiger1.info/topicIndexEN.html but any modeller can do them..

I haven't worked on the suspension yet..has anyone else?

I got mine to use the lower hull for a Sturmtiger project. It turns out the hull is 5mm narrower than the Tamiya so it won't work
I won't be building it for a month or two so I can't help

Did you add the separate side panels to the hull?

The correct width of a Tiger 1 upper hull in 1/35 scale is 90mm

I talked to another dealer in town today and he says that the Dragon Tigers will be here next week... so Just as I suspected - the first guy was most likely wrong... I guess time will tell...

I just wrote to someone at Dragon. The Late Tiger has not been withdrawn. But it contains so many sprues that they cannot keep up with demand.

Then there might be a serious problem here

Tamiya Internal: 86 External: 90
Dragon Internal: 82 External 84 (with side panels)

Any ideas?
