Can anyone provide any comments or review on the 21st Century 1/32 King Tiger "Blue 112" and how it compares to Dragon, FOV and Hobby Master King Tigers?

[+] > I like it. It's a neat KT for the pri¢e compared to the super detailed enthusiast editions offered by other makers. Just like the Porsche turreted one.
........... It's a real bargain tank !

The KT is one of the best 1/32 German armor releases IMHO. My only beef with it is I wish 21C had not gone for the battle-damaged look and left all the shurtzen on. That would not dissuade me from buying either though.

How does the 21st 1/32 King Tiger compare to the Dragon 1/35 King Tiger?

Don't think it would be fair to compare them both when the Dragon sell for double the price of the 21st one
If you want a great king tiger buy a Dragon one

How often does Dragon release new models?
(I'm hoping Dragon eleases a 1/35 King Tiger with turret-mounted spare treads)

The detail isn't as good but it probably would stand up to rougher treatment. Like all 21C products its really a toy in designer jeans....

Aside from a nearly total lack of weathering, I think it's one of the nicest models 21C has ever made in this scale, and I much prefer it over the Porsche turreted model, which in my opinion has a weird looking camo scheme on it. I don't know if this particular model (blue 112) was ever made in an all plastic version or not, but mine is a 32X "cold steel" version....

the dragon 1/35 has far better details and more accurate historical paint schemes. but i really like the 21st KT's I often repaint to my liking!
