Something need to confirm, though the topic is surely my favourite !

Thx Jim. This surely clears the things out
I already got 2 DML Initial Tiger I but sPzAbt 501 in DAK is really one of my favourite topics ... just a little disappointment why it cannot be a full kit

Here you can see some built-up pictures : http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=47207&messageid=1126203750.
From the pictures it looks like the major characteristics for this Tunisia Tiger are there including the air fiiter system and the corresponding armor and the tool box on the rear plate, and they said there will be an addition of over 20 new features depicting this Tiger.

Oh dear - DML going into AM. The doomsayers are gonna have fun with this one! :-)
Seriously though, for those of us who returned to the fold of German Armor building, this is an absolute godsend. If like me you don't have a large spares box, and really want a good, easy option for the DAK Tiger - then this is going to sell and sell and sell...Jim

Aaaaaaaarrrrrgghhh!
Typical, having spent oodles of dosh on A/M parts to make this version from their Initial version kit, they go and do it all themselves.
BTW this is an addition to the Initial Tiger kit, so you'll need that kit too. Plus I have heard it is only available from Dragon's Cyber shop. I'm not sure how easy to get in the UK and other countries it will be.

[/quote]Ah, sorry if I sounded impolite, but as everything else I've seen today, such as Tom Cockle on Somethingorother Links says it isn't a complete kit, I was wondering if it was a third type of thing wot I had yet to consider. Maybe a block of styrene and a sharp knife and some plans.

One of the best laughs I have had all day.
(Sounds like a kit from BlueTank I tried to build once)
Thanks,

Well, regardless if its a full kit, or just a conversion, its gonna be good. I do agree, if Dragon go into AM conversions for their already existing kits, that would open up a whole new relm of endless possibilities.

No problem Jim!! I'm curious as to what the three options of the kit will be?
While interested in the DAK version, I'd also like to do an early version of this vehicle.

Does it means they are going to allow pre-order of this kit on Cyber-Hobby before it arrives at LHS?

The plastic or cloth tubes for air filter system looks interesting and I like the air filter system most. Another must buy to me (bankruptcy is not far to me

It appears, from Tom Cockle's comment, that Dml's new DAK Tiger 1 will only be available thru DML's CyberHobby store. If so, we will probably be paying full MSRP. No discount 
. Up to this point I have never paid full MSRP on a DML kit. My LHS normally gives me up to a 25% discount on all kits.
Not only full MSRP, but also shipping!
I hope this isn't true, but if it is, I've still got a Tamiya Initial Tiger 1 in the stash!

Regarding Cyber-Hobby, I've just ordered the the Tiger I Late magic track from them at $20 
I'm looking forward to seeing any special deal for this DAK Tiger from them

Sorry, I just can't complain about having to pay 40 bucks for a kit with the bazillion extras that DML gives us. I felt like I was stealing when I picked up their initial and late tigers for less then thirty bucks each.
