Builds easily with plenty of room for add-ons.

By: todd_w14

This kit has been around for over 20 years and its still a fairly accurate easy to build kit. Comparing wheels and other details with the more detailed Dragon King Tiger kits the quality is on par minus the metal parts present in the Dragon kits. Anybody from a novice to an experienced modeler will enjoy building this and there a plenty of aftermarket parts available, from track links, to engine sets, interior turret sets and photetched detail sets and all are relatively easy to find as well. Overall this is an easy to build kit and a popular subject with alot of aftermarket options anybody interested in Axis armor will find this a welcome edition to their collection.

Really impressive when done

By: travis.getz

I really liked building this tank - it was very satisfying to look at when done because it is so dang big and powerful looking compared to the others in my collection! The add-on details like extra tracks are nice, but one of the things I like most is the 'tread skirt' which hides the top portion of the rubber treads. Very nice kit!

King of the Battle

By: johncpo41 (www.hobbiesinabarn)

I built this kit years ago and found it to be a huge tank compared to the other German and US tanks as in real life. I'm sure that the size was a real shock to all. The kit I recall was easily assembled with little or no mold problems and fit. The detailing was good for the time with lots of extra possibilities as the kit is expandable. I detailed my kit with Zimmerit Anti- mine coating by using a trick I read about in a scale model magazine, I used the raised edges of diner napkins glued with Super-glue applied to the surfaces that would be typically coated. The tank really adds to any collection of armor!
