If I were to build a Tiger...

Post by Tarasdad »

...which is the best 1/35 scale kit? I generally build from the box, but wouldn't be averse to photo-etch or other metal parts - so long as they're included, that is. I have a birthday coming up in a few days and am trying to come up with suggestions. Price is an object, needs to be reasonable (under $50/€37/£29).

BTW, I tried to search for a similar thread but my search was rejected because the terms were "too common" :wall:

Coen, that looks like a fantastic kit! Definitely going on my list, whether for now or for later.

Any opinions on the Dragon Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel Smartkit? I know I started this about a Tiger but I've had me a hankering to build a bunch of SP and towed artillery/guns and TD's. I especially love the German units, just so...sexy, in a manly sort of way....

Consider me surprised that you endorsed that kit so quickly. I finally ordered one the other day.

It fit his price limit range and it's better than some of the other kits.

Yes their prices are good but they don't ship to Oz. What a bummer :roll:

Ah Poo...

if they sell it for that cheap then it must be available elsewhere for similar prices.

You'll need 4 paws, a tail, big sharp teeth, lots of fur and some stripes.
