A moment ago I got my DML Tiger I Late kit back from ATAK. They used it to make a Zimmerit set for this kit, so I can confirm that this ATAK product is really available now (e.g. from http://www.martola.com.pl/index.php?lang=en). I have a sample of this set and it looks excellent. Two versions of Zimmerit pattern are included for the turret.

Hmmm... Is Martola website really that difficult to navigate? Vinnie also couldn't find the ATAK set there. You need to select "our offer", then "manufacturers" and then "the others" from the menu. Then select ATAK in "manufacturers" field. But here is the direct link to Tiger set: http://www.martola.com.pl/oferta/index.php?nazwa=&firma=11&numer=35032&skala=&cena2=&waluta=2&typ=&ile=25&lang=en.

You can use picture of the ATAK set from Martola website in the news story - I know the owner and I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Actually he was the one who contacted me on behalf of ATAK to borrow my Tiger kit. I will be able to take some additional pictures tomorrow evening earliest.

That's great news, Pawel. But ordering from this website seems a bit.. complicted. I don't have a printer or a fax, so I can't send them my order. Do you know of any good internet shops that will carry this item soon?

Cheers,
Soren

Great models has it here in the states, but I can get cavalier for half the price, plus I prefer the resin to the brass.

Brass?... ATAK set is resin. Thin as a paper sheet. Also, is Cavalier set for DML Tiger I Late kit available already?

Only trouble is in my experience Cavalier isn't half as good as Atak, you get what you pay for...

Also personally I'd get Atak from Jadar, not Great Models.
