Which one?

Early with interior?
Mid with int?
Early but no inter?

They're not bad kits at all, until DML, they were second only to the pricier Tamiya Tigers.

They are less fiddly than the DML Tigers and their instructions are much easier to follow.

For info on the Tiger look here

Tiger 1 info

and for the odd pic or 2 try here

Tiger gallery

also I would invest in a set of Academy Tiger 1 early indy links, they're much better than the vinyl tracks.
