Re: Corgi v. HobbyMaster Armor

Has anyone yet received the HM 1/48 King Tigers and if so how do they compare with the Corgi 1/50 Armour range?

Eagerly awaiting some sage advice ...

I haven't gotten 1:48 Tiger II yet, but I've lucked out and got 1:56 Tiger I #332 in Panzer Grey for $11.50US shipped on eBay (the seller threw a fit and wanted to renege on the deal initially).

Let me put this way, the model is so good that my 1:35 Dragon Tiger I DAK will be eBay bound as soon as somene makes a smaller scale version of that particular Tiger I. Imagine 1:72 Dragon Tiger I blown up to 1:56 WITHOUT the loss of crispness of detail and actually better detail overall for about the same price. Metal content is about the same as with early production 1:72 Dragon Tiger I. Not too shabby in this regard, either.

Two thumbs up, way up.

Regards,

Sergey
