Armored Vehicle Interiors

Agree with u !
I'll post pics about my VAB's interior !
I'm making a radio version ( interior in scratch )

I like interiors as well. For some kits, it would be a waste since a lot of detail will be hidden. I enjoy doing the M113 series with their basic interiors. Someone gave me an Academy Tiger I with complete interior. Nice kit.

Agreed and Rob your right, Academy's Tiger I with interior is a good kit. It would be great if more companies, especially Tamiya incorporated it into some kits. Especially if they will pawn off a Panzer IV J or Panther G with Eduard Zimmerit for $65 Bucks.

Let me clarify in case someone attacks me for recommending the Tiger with interior. I do not know if the Academy Tiger I with interior is an accurate kit. I have no idea if it is complete, rudimentary or highly detailed. I don't normally do German armor and I just received the kit from someone who wanted another kit from me. Looks very cool and if I ever build it (doubtful) i most likely won't care if the interior is accurate or not.

Actually, the Tiger interior is pretty good. I've seen a lot of photos of a Tiger I's interior, but have only been in the King Tiger. Why would anybody attack you for recommending a kit? I like some pretty inaccurate kits (the early Revell Sherman in 1/40 scale for example) and don't really care what others think of them. Any kit (almost) can be made into a jewel and Academy's Tiger I is a great place to get a head start!
Say.... if you don't want that kit 'laying around'...... just give me a yell!!

Stranger things have happened. I once made the mistake of recommending the old Tamiy M113A1 kit to a newbie who wanted some practice on a kit with interior. I was promptly scolded for not recommending the Academy M113A2 kit instead.

I love that kit. I still have my old original one I built way back when and recently bought another real cheap to replace missing parts on my old one.

It seems the Academy Tiger kit is really starting to get popular. Can't complain, as I have one, too. Unfortunately, I had to pay for it...

I would like to see more kits with interiors, as well. Problem is, getting the time to spend on doing one properly is a chore in itself, plus the costs of the kits. In the time it has taken me to work on the Tiger, I could have finished 3 other kits. For dioramas, exterior is good enough for most applications.

Speaking of interior kits, have you checked out the Tamiya M2 Bradley? Very nice. It's definately going into a diorama with my Abrams and a few troops.

With the interiors hidden inside. I wish to see somewhat half-size clear plastic body? Like the Revell 'Ghost Mustang'.

This is just a personal point of view.
