Peter Browne Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Looking for a Dragon 1/35 Tiger I Late Production with Zimmerit. There are six (and a bit) kits that I can see: Kit 6253 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-6253-pzkpfw-vi-ausf-e-sdkfz-181-tiger-i--108329 (zimmerit separately applied thin plastic) Kit 6383 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-6383-tiger-i--135737 Kit 6406 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-6406-tiger-i--121918 Kit 6800 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-6800-wittmanns-last-tiger--1178142 Kit 6947 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-6947-tiger-i--1202716 Kit 6947SP https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-6947sp-pzkpfw-vi-ausf-e-tiger-i-late-production-w-zimmerit-normandy-1944--1303861 and then kit 6484 which is a mix of early and late https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-6484-pzkpfwvi-ausfe-sdkfz181--1314240 Putting aside the kits with separately applied zimmerit (plastic film parts), any recommendations or otherwise? With 6947 and 6947SP, as far as I can tell they are the same kits, except the SP kit seems to have PE fenders judging by the extra image of brass fenders on the box cover. I haven't seen any reviews of either kit though. I assume these kits would be the better of the options to have slide mouldings given the recent production.

Ray_W Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I built 6383 recently and loved it. I am not a Zimmerit purist, but loved the representation and what was achieved with the slide moulding technology and the fact that I did not need to apply any post Zimmerit treatment. If I was home in Australia I would take some more pictures but, as I am still stuck in Europe, I only have this grainy photo. Ray 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Browne Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Thanks Ray, that Tank does look good. I wish you luck getting home! Coincidentally I was just watching Panzermeister36's video on that 2008 kit. I'm wondering how and what, if anything, the later of those kits have improved up to kit 6947, released in 2020.

Ray_W Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just now, Peter Browne said: later of those kits have improved up to kit 6947 Have to hand that one over to the rest of the BM team although knowing dragon I expect it is the same moulds.
