Tiger 1 E/H by Academy

Joe, I like you more every day. LOL

Some nice builds Bill & Harry.

I have the early version and still yet to build it.Maybe I should get to it.Digger

I built the Early full interior version earlier.. Here is a pic and there are more in my gallery..

Gee, Joe, thanks for rubbing it in!
wbill, thanks for the pics. They look great!

I have some build progress pics I took while making it...finished it several months back and it's sitting in a display case in my office at work or I'd show you the truly finished look, but these give you a good idea of the level of detail it offers. I did mine as a clean cutaway.

With turret removed:

I think that just about settles it, then. I was really suprised by the prices. I expected a Tiger with an interior to cost more.

Buff,

I did the Early because my LHS had it in stock when I was buying. As far as I know, the kits are not substantially different on the inside but don't quote me on that. Academy's full interior means just that. The prices were very reasonable as well for such a highly detailed kit. I didn't experience any major fit problems with all of the interior detail and the kit as a whole came together very nicely. It has a nice side benefit in that you can display it as a full cutaway with the upper deck and turret top removed and the turret still sets like it's supposed to.

Based on your recommendations, I had a look for this kit at my LHS today, and they had two Academy Tiger 1's with full interiors, one early and the other mid/late (I think). The prices for both were great. I'm giving a whole lot of thought to making one of the those kits mine when I have a some spare cash at the end of the month.
Thanks for the tip!

Is this one with the fully detailed interior? If so, you are going to love it...it's absolutely fantastic IMHO on what you can do with it and a great pleasure to build.
