| Re: Hobbymaster 1/48th King Tiger ; Opinions ? These Königstiger are excellent reproductions; shape and proportions are as accurate as can be, paint and finish are excellent, and the tank's sit and attitude is among the best out there.
Only a few minor details have been simplified by HM (and I still hope they will fix this, given the scale and the fact that the model quality really deserves it!), most noticeably the lift rings on top of the turret, which are solid blobs; however, this can be easily fixed with a small drill bit.
Just open two windows in your screen - one with HM's Tiger, the other with a real Tiger from a wartime photograph, and you'll see how good the model really is! |
