| Hi IXEC,
I'm considering getting the FOV King Tiger (and hopefully later the Tiger I). I'm curious as to why you think the King Tiger is only 'okay', as compared to the Tiger I being 'awesome'?
Are there any inaccuracies with the King Tigers, is the paint job bad, are they fragile or some such?
Cheers,
Soren |
Hello Soren,
IMHO, I'd say the first two Tiger II's were over weathered. The boggies and fenders have lots of ' mudding ' effect. It kind of takes away from some of the finer details. On the other hand having a full interior, is very good. IMHO i'd say the second Tiger II is the better one of the two.
The new Wittmann Tiger I doesn't have the muddied boggies and fenders. They are lightly weathered, and the painting is good to. The zimmerit effect looks good as well. The only inaccuracies I can see are very minor and don't distract an overall great Tiger I. I paid $300.00US +$25.00 shipping. The retailer that gave me that price sold out months ago with preorders. I know the HobbyBunker in Massachusetts, has two in stock. He's asking $450.00US, but he has a ' won't be undersold policy '
if you show him a printed advertised cheaper price, and it must be in stock at time of advertisment
.
I'm very happy with the two ( one for future sale or trade ) Wittmann Tiger I's I purchased. Now if FOV can come out with a full interior Tiger I or a Jadgtiger the same way, I can't say no
.
Cheers, Paul
