You chose well, the only thing that I had trouble with was joining the upper and lower hull. Other than that it was a fun build. If the kit offered the escape hatches that opened and some of the stowage bins that opened it would have been a great improvement,.

I also got a Dragon Tiger, 6700, only Tiger they had, can you give me another good number and a panther too.

Got the Meng, Bradley and Tasca Sherman, some of the latest Tamiyas, and an AFV M 109, running out of suitcase specs, can fit about 6 more kits.

The Tasca is amazing detail and scale.

Your help has been wonderful thanks, when I graduate Model building High School, I will have sMe real kits to build

Without knowing where you're getting the kits it's difficult for me to suggest much. Are you getting them from a hobby shop or some other place? I can suggest a tiger kit but the ones that are really awesome are out of production and difficult if not impossible to find.
For tigers that you can possiblely find I'd keep an Eye out for kits of 6610, 6650, and 6660. These are decent and recent releases from dragon/cyber hobby. I've built them all and they're all great kits.
You should always keep you eye out for any of Tamiya's Tigers. They're great bases for many kinds of builds and you can still find them for decent prices.

For panthers, I know less about Panther kits than tigers, but 6551, 6358, 6370, 6384, 6428 were all awesome to build kits and I loved every one of them.
I can't recommend any Tamiya panthers unfortunately, the ones that I've built were crappy kits and I don't think that I'd buy another Tamiya panther again.

I hope that gives you some food for thought bud, enjoy your shopping dude.
Lucky bugger!

Mike,

Thanks I am in Japan, and not sure how old the great kits that are out of production, but sometimes you find older kits on the shelf.

I will write down the numbers, the Puma kit you built is about $30.00 usd here.

Thanks and if you have numbers on the out of production let me know. I have a couple Tasca/Tamyaias I want and two large Tamiyas, the 40t Dragon Wagon and 18 ton Famo with trailer, so room is limited to about two more Dragons

6286 and 6350 are the most difficult and most expensive kits to find. 6350 can go for anything between $300-500. 6286 for more.
6610 is also well sought after but much easier to find for a lot less money.
6252 and 6253 are probably the best kits dragon ever put out of the tiger.
6283 and 6406 are also awesome.
The last of the good tigers with all the goodies is 6600. Beautiful kit but 6252 is its predecessor and one that I'd would love to have.
That's about it for the elite tiger kits.
If you can find even one of those for under $100 you did good.
