Hi Phil, welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

If you post this question in the Armor section of these forums, you'll get answers quickly. I don't usually build armor so I can't help you.

Main WIP:

On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

Welcome aboard. As fox mentions, you will get more response in the armour section. But in shor, i would suggest a Tamiya kit.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3

Welcome aboard,the new Meng King Tigers are supposed to be real good,and reasonably priced.They come with or without interior and zimm.Also Takom has a new line of King Tigers.

More complex but certainly build able would be the Dragon King Tigers.

Google them all,reviews are out there.
