The Tiger set is very nice, but their luxury packs can be pricey. Any notion what this one will retail for?

Funnily enough, I checked it out on Lucky Model this morning - $93 with Free postage...

Thanks, LM didn't have it the last time I checked. That free shipping gets me every time!

The M1-Schürzen are new, but what I cannot understand is why Yoyager have not added the small number plates. Since I was disappointed by their Leclerc-Set I am more carefully. Their PE-parts are doubtless accurate and well detailed but the sets I have purchased are not reasoned concerning the parts chosen to replace or upgrade. Maybe I have got bad luck and the experiences I have made so far do not make me stop purchasing other sets e.g. DML's Tiger II (their older one).

Marco, I think all the PE makers are flawed in their approach. ABER has some of the best I've seen, but they ask you to "scratch build" too many plastic parts. EDUARD has mixed results on accuracy, and their brass is very thin and weak. If I make a mistake and bend a part the wrong way, it snaps off. Voyager, for example, is more forgiving. LION ROAR has some of the best PE I've seen. Their FLAK 36 is superb. But their new Opel Blitz left out the louvered bonnet/engine cover. What the heck!???? VOYAGER has some of the most consistent offerings, and they certainly cover the marketed kits pretty well. My big complaint with them has been their product photos often show a kit with 2-3 sets of PE: fenders, upgrades, cleaning rods, even smoke launchers, etc. I don't want to think one set is doing everything, since ordering these items from Asia takes time. I hope Armorama reviews the Tiger lux pack, since $100 is a lot of money to put into a kit. But it has been pointed out how ALL of the Tiger AM barrels are insufficiently accurate, so perhaps Voyager has finally gotten it right. Jim, any chance this set will come your way for reviewing? I sure don't want to invest that much until I know it's a winner.

Hmmm.. I have been using Eduard PE for about 12 months now and have never had a problem with it snapping. No offence but you shouldn't have to re-bend an item if you plan your bending thoroughly.. I find if I need to rebend I just flatten the item again and re-bend as required. You can also solder pieces back together if required.

Tool clasps? Also Eduard isn't as accurate nor as extensive as Aber, Voyager or Lion Roar. I used their set on the Panther-G Smart Kit because it was the first one out, with the second G I got the Voyager set, which just blows you away. Extensive and much more accurate. And yes, Eduard even when bending the right way, snap WAAAY too easily.

Planning isn't enough in part because all these makers have lapses & gaps in the instructions.
