Fantastic work Marc, love the camo. I have one of these cats on the go, and might have a couple more as commission builds as well.

Hey wouter. sorry I missed your comments. Thanks.
Thanks Rob. If I ever do another of these fantastic kits, I am going with some 1/548 Fruils. The AFV plastic indy linsk were a bear and the rubber band track, while have great detail, need to be stretched a lot and still they bowed at the idler.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

John, Anthony, Jimmy... thanks fellas. tell me about it Jimmy. The little groups of 10 kept falling apart as I tried to glue them into 1 length. But I prevailed in the end. and now the beast is hungry! I have a couple AFV Tigers, but I don't think they have zimmerit. Looking your build and taking a real good look at the Dragon and the Tamiya, I'm convinced the AFV is better. The cast iron looks much more like the real thing, and for sure their zimmerit is better than Tamiya or Dragon. Only thing I've seen better is Atak and Cavalier. I have two other tigers that I bought for bits and pieces (Academy and Zvezda). Bought them for the parts to build a couple early Tigers. gary

Thanks Boyd. Gary, detail wise this is one f the nicest kits I've built Some of the molding puts 1/35 dragon stuff to shame. I can't remember if I read it or i simply noticed from looking at review photos of the old Skybow kit and this one that they are one in the same. And I agree, best molded in zim I've seen...and it's 1/48. This, or the Ellery version would be on the short list for repeat builds.
