    Academy 13239 1/35 Plastic Model Kit German TIGER-I Early Version Armor Tank
    Mar 13, 2016
    Not a Toy, but a work of art
    The German Panzers are some of the deadliest tanks of WW II. This model is a great representation of the Engineering of the German people. The model is not for beginners and is more for the intermediate to regular modelers, meaning that it will present trouble to those who are not used to putting together a complex model. This one takes patience, a steady head, and a desire to make a work of art. But it is just a model, if that is your thinking then this is not a kit for you as it will test your limits, some depending upon when or where in the manufacturing process may need to be cleaned more then others, early kits and end kits need more cleaning with the mid range having less clean up this is do to the tool and dies of injection molds. Early ones need to be adjusted and late ones are just worn out. The model for myself was a dream come true, as I got a full interior without having to buy an after market kit. I rarely buy after market items unless its a metal barrel, because of the prices. A set of Fruil tracks for this Tiger would cost the same as the model itself. I can make plastic tracks look as good as metal ones (not bragging). So if you want a nice challenge and one awesome Panzer, then buy this kit. If you want an easier version buy a Tamiya kit (which are also good kits) which is an easier build and can be done in a weekend or two, this kit will easily take up to a month to build correctly and maybe more. (This is based on not being a full time modeler).

    Guadalcanal Diary by Richard Tregaskis
    Outstanding book, the accounts from Tregaskis is amazing. This is true reporting unlike today's bias reporters. This should be a mandated book for future reporters.
