I ordered mine this morning, I see some new features, moveable driver vision block cover, it appears thta we get both magic and DS tracks. Tiger fans need to go to the DML website to check it out. Definitely something I want to add to the collection.
Get em’ while they are hot boys, I’ve got a feeling these are going to follow the Tunisian and Wittman pattern we have witnessed lately.
Anyone taking money out of their 401K to buy in bulk? I have to have one, the wifes gonna kill me(this will be my 5th dragon tiger 1) Should the Fehrmann tigers have zimmerit?
It’s a special hybrid Tiger, essentially an early repaired with some late parts (wheels most noticeably). It would otherwise require you to use at least 2 kits to model one.
Off the top of my head–I would say “I don’t think so”? I think there’s a discussion of these tanks in one of Jean Restayn’s books “Tigers on the Eastern/Western Front”?
Some have it, F13 for sure, but in most cases it’s badly chipped:
Most don’t:
There were only 6 hybrid Tigers in the group, and there are good pictures of every vehicle, so you can’t get away with any hypothetical stuff on this build [;)]
Sorry, [:)]but I think you will thank me in a couple of months. I have a feeling that this kit will skyrocket in collector value at some point. That being said I fully intend to build mine. I have a set of Fermann Archer dry transfers that have been sitting in the decal box for two years waiting on this bad boy.
This is a good one for Tiger enthusiasts and have to agree that it will likely go the route of the other Tiger releases as well. Unlike some of the other CH releases, the Tigers ALWAYS sell out…it’s just the fact that it’s a Tiger and a rare Tiger at that but one that’s thoroughly documented so will be the ideal “must have” kit for many.
Regretfully I think the Magic Tracks are only for the spare links…much like the DX07 Kurzmaul Tiger.
I noticed the box art on the Cyberhobby looks quite different than the artist interpretation on the Gruppe Fehrmann Echelon Decal set…wonder which is right…
I predict that this one will garnish the highest “collector” prices in a few years…surpasing even the Wittman and “initial” versions…I might get one just for that reason…
I agree, if you want one, get it before the speculators buy one and drive up the secondary prices. Nothing makes collectors/speculators move as fast as Limited production. That goes true for more than just models.
