I just got the Dragon 'Tiger I: Initial Production' kit and wanted to do a scene from the Eastern Front. My question is basically did all Tigers have Zimmerit applied?

Also, has anyone else built this kit and do you have any comments or recommendations for improvements?

Thanks
Kelley

No, LordOdin they didn't. Zimmerit was applied to AFV's from August '43 to September '44 so none of the initial production Tiger I's had zim applied.
Oh, and welcome to the site.

Cheers,
Mike
