BUILD YOUR OWN 1/16 Tiger
Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 11:45 am
Here in the UK Hachette have just launched new part work which enables you to build, in monhly installments, a 1/16 late model Tiger I.
Each monthly installment will cost about UK pounds 20.00 ($30.00) over a period of perhaps a year, perhaps longer.
The model is a mixture of metal and plastic with small details in photo-etch. The model has to be painted. I think construction would require a high level of modelling skills - heaven knows what happens if you lose or break a part. Each issue comes with a DVD instruction DVD. Mind you , if you manged to finish it you would have a high level of satisfaction. However, it might be cheaper to save money over the same period of time and buy an FOV model Tiger in the same scale.
In fact looking at photos and ads for the Tiger it looked awefully like the FOV model!
