Just got done ordering this one from an online retalier, but I can't seem to find any info about it anywhere besides Cyber Hobby's single pic. Anyone have it already that can give a review or knows if it is all that rare?

I HAVE 61002 ,IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER IN THE FLESH,COULD HAVE BEEN IMPROVED WITH SOME PE ,THE PAINT FINISH AND WEATHERING LOOKS JUST RIGHT SINCE MOST OF THE PHOTOS OF THE REAL VEHICLE SEEM TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE TAKEN WHEN THE TANK WAS AS GOOD AS NEW.THE QUESTION OF MODEL RARITY,I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY IN MODEL SHOPS BUT I AM TOLD YOU CAN ONLY BUY ON LINE ,AS YOU HAVE DONE,HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR BUY ITS AN UNUSUAL INITIAL TIGER 1.

I ordered a 1/35 Tasca star antenna kit for the tank as its a COs vehicle, but I have 2 questions:
1) Would the antenna be the same color paint as the rest of the tank?
2) If so, does anybody have a suggestion as to who makes the closest match to the Panzer Grey Dragon used?
Any info would be appreciated as always!

not too sure whether,the star antennae,was around in late 1942,when this inital model tiger was in service,the photos i have seen of actual tiger you have,shows NO star antennae,so i suggest you investigate further,just for accuracy,i am not an expert,just interested in your endeavour,good luck.

Thanks 23enigma61, I didn't even think about the star antenna not being in service yet. I'll look into it further. Perhaps the pics were taken right after detraining? Maybe it just hadn't been put up yet? In either case, thanks much for the heads up, I'll see what I can find out.
