For all you Tiger lovers,following up their release of Tiger 131,we now have this announcement
http://www.dragonusaonline.com/item_detail.aspx?ItemCode=DRA6608
I’ll probably be a sucker for both,I just wish they hadn’t done away with Magic Tracks
And,if Dragon isn’t your cup of tea,here is another Tunisian Tiger by a new company
So many Tigers…so little time…[:(]
.
Thanks for the heads up. [:D]
One more to drool over. [sigh]
Tigers are nice… But I’m still waiting on a few other subjects that have yet to be kitted…
Meh,…the “Desert Tigers” never did much for me. I’ll pass. I already have too many Tigers and variants to build.
Haven’t done a Tunisian Tiger since Tamiya released thier kit ages ago so I’ll pick one of these up.
Yeah I’m probably going to be getting both kits, looks like the Initial Production will be from Dragon along with the Tiger 131. And not one of those limited editions from cyberhobby. [H]
I know I’m late to the dance here, but who does Tiger 131?
Yup, saw them both. I have a Tiger I late that I started in the stash. It has taken a long nap. With all of the other great subjects out there, I really don’t need all the variants. I honestly can’t think of a another kit worth buying at this time. I might be the only one here that thinks this way. LOL
The Tiger 131 is a Dragon kit # 6820
Got a bit trigger happy last week and bought:
CH 1/35 Tiger I 1944 Production (Box no:67)
And:
Dragon 1/35 Tiger I Late Production DX07 Alfred Kurzmaul.
Completely useless additions the Tiger stash, I have all the sprues.
Not the stencils but they are invalid to me anyway.
The Rye Field Model looks interesting though, is this the Zvezda with a correction of the turret roof?
Can i finally build #123 of 503 OOB?
Very Best Regards
Johan
I have the Tamiya “Ausf Africa” kit 90% finished. I bought the new Dragon Wittman Tiger,the new Dragon Tunisian Tiger and preordered the Rye Fields Tiger. That should keep me busy for a while. Oh and I just finished the Tamiya " Mid Production " Tiger as well. I used Tamiyas own zimmerit set.
I love Tigers. Gotta put some Tiger in your Tank right? But I also feel there are starting to be too many tiger I kits. I recently started building tiger II’s ( or king tigers or tiger royals, whichever you prefer to call them) and I picked up the amusing hobby Lowe (saw it at my LHS and fell in love) and the Dragon tiger P. Felt like I needed some freshness for the stash.
Dragon’s Tiger 131 arrived today. Wow!
The box is chock full.
Looks like a winner to me.
Cool,mines due this week,also pre-ordered the DAK version.
I do agree about the Tiger I’s, as much as I love em. I got that Lowe kit last year and it looks really nice, and I just got their Neubaufahrzeug last week. Just to have something a bit different in the stash.
Granted, I have plenty in the stash. But, I already know, eventually, both these new Tigers will end up in the stash too.
Looks like there re-issuing 6252 1/35 Pz. Kfz . 181 Tiger-I Initial Production s.Pz.Abt.502 L, in August.
And this one, 1/35 Pz. Kfz . 181 Tiger I Late Production (3 in 1)
And Dragon 6406 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger I Late Production (3 in 1).
Are they accurate kits?[:P]
Well they look like Tigers
