New King Tiger

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, October 27, 2004 6:51 PM

What will be so special about the the DML King Tiger Battle of the Buldge? I guess a couple of extras and some figures, but no variation change. Don't know what to expect. Smile [:)]

I like the DML King Tiger's and they offer some nice things over Tamiya's, but I still prefer Tamiya's kits over Dragon's. Especially the Porsche Turret.

Cheers

So are the "speculated" addition of extras and figs. tempting enough to wait who knows how long for this one. I wanted the henschel turrent version and i'm wonderin if i should wait now. What do u guys think?

I didn't expect this version since I had word it would be of the last tigers (Nov on) production six track per side turret and the fuel vent tubes due to the fuel system make over. I can only hope that this is what they are truly going to release since I went ahead and bought the Friul. tracks for the late variant. If not it looks like more kit-bashing. God if only there were 36 hrs in a day!

Generally speaking, the Dragon "Specials" usually include nice goodies like an aluminum barrel and PE grills and other nice add-ons, at least this was true of their D-Day "Special" Panther. They may also throw in some figures from one of their existing sets, hard to say.

I didn't wait- I just bought the Tamiya Ardennes version and Dragon's Fallschirmjager (kit numbers in the post called 'Need German infantry riders..." by zokissima.- plus it has a nice motorcycle in it, too
