BIG Tiger!

And who are the manufacturers of the Japanese AFV on page 2, below the somewhat inappropriate figures?

OH MY GOD!

That has to be my dream-kit! With an interior!

Okay, I'm knock-out. First a GW Grille II 17 cm and now a 1/16 Tiger-B.

I hope they do the serien Turm as well, and maybe... JAgdTiger!

Another interesting 'trend' to consider. I hope though that this is going to be a concrete release and go beyond the 'visualization' stage. Significantly, there are no mock-ups yet of the Trumpeter kits apart from a lot of Aircraft and the German Armor subjects..Jim

Some of the HobbyBoss KV-1s have now appeared on the front page as the site is updated, including a sprue shot. The Tiger has now moved to page 2.

And re-issues of the Tamiya 1/25th Tiger and Cent it would appear..

They'll be from Fine Molds. There are two future kits mentioned on the HLJ site.

I hope the big cat won't rebel once finished... but the Great Mazinger will protect us!

Thanks Geoff, that was my wild guess.

Finally my prayers have been answered... Trumpeter and Hobby Boss really kick a$$ with their full interior kits -and they seem to be expanding the line.

This, quite honestly, is the problem with the 'resurrection' of older threads. The KT in 1/16th was confirmed in the 2007 catalogue and since then we've only seen a few WIP shots..

Nothing has been announced/shown for a good few months...

I know that but it's still wishful thinking.

Hi

I think I've read this was dropped from the Trumpeter web site, provoking worries that this was disappearing but I see it's on the stand at Nuremberg, so it's still very much on the way.

Going to be some great builds of this when it comes out.

Alan
