Dragon Models Ltd., Tiger 1, Mid-Production, Battle of Malonovka, Otto Carius No. 6888. This model kit is identical to Kit No. 6624. The only difference is that with Kit No. 6888 the builder is provided with decals and a paint and marking guide to make only Otto Carius's famous No. 217 Tiger 1, Mid-Production vehicle, used in the Battle of Malonovka. This specific kit (No. 6888) was released by Dragon Models in 2021. That being written, the following comments apply to both of these kits. Most 1/35 Tiger 1 modelers will agree that Dragon 1/35 Tiger 1 kits are the most historically accurate and detailed models of this famous iconic tank on the market today. This is probably why they command premium prices often far above their competition. The molded in zimmerit surface detail is subtle, but some 1/35 Tiger 1 connoisseurs claim it is more true to scale than other renditions of zimmerit surface detail. The side fenders are both single full length pieces, however they can be cut into four sections per side to improve their appearance. Kit No. 6888 comes with Early Production Tiger 1 Magic Tracks. Unfortunately, they have solid guide horns which have been known to vex the Tiger 1 purists (i.e. Adam Mann on YouTube). For my build, I replaced the Magic Tracks with AFV Club's Tiger 1, Early Version Tracklink set, which feature hollow guide horns. As expected at this price point, a set of photo etch engine grill covers is included. Also included are parts to build up a complete gun breech assembly. Parts for the commander and loader's seats are also provided. Unfortunately no metal main gun barrel is provided, however this is not a problem as a slide molded main gun barrel comes in the kit. All tow cables are molded parts, so no struggling with pieces of string or copper wire is necessary. I was disappointed to discover that Kit No. 6888 didn't include an MG 34 to install on the provided mounting bracket and slide rail mounted on the commander's cuppola. I had to find an MG 34 from my spare parts stash. Dragon provides a decal for the label on the rear deck fire extinguisher. The gun travel lock, characteristic of Mid-Production Tiger 1 tanks, was fidley to assemble. Another fidley assembly was the bow gun which is a complete weapon, not just the barrel. Builders should also note that the jack assembly is very complex, but will yield a highly detailed result if built up properly. The detail on the equipment brackets is exquisitely rendered down to the minute wing nuts. Molded parts are crisp with a high level of fidelity. 1/35 Tiger 1 model builder purists claim that if you can successfully build, paint and weather a Dragon Tiger 1 kit then you qualify as an intermediate to advanced fine scale modeler. With that being written, this kit is not for the faint of heart and it is recommended for patient and methodical intermediate to advanced modelers with airbrushing and weathering skills.
