Tamiya engineering is second to none for fit and easy of assembly. With that however, you sacrifice detail. Fair warning, if you're looking to build Tiger 131, this isn't the kit, you need the early model for that. This kit went together without any issues, it just about falls into place. My only issue with Tamiya Tigers is that they don't come with the photo etch screens for the back deck. You have to order those separately. I recommend that because they do add detail the the kit and stand out. Great kit for a a weekend build. Highly recommend.
