Candidates...1/35 Tiger 1 late production?

[maxwellbest]

Hi all, title says it all, have just about completed Tamiya King Tiger and Tamiya Panther tanks ...1/35..and enjoyble builds they were....Am aware of Tamiya late production Tiger 1...as I understand it, this model was released quite some time ago.  Time has moved on, I am wondering what is the state of play with respect to late production Tiger 1s..something that has been released relatively recently...just to round off my collection of late war big cats...?  Thanks in advance.

The Rye Fields Model's one is quite popular. They are makers of nice kits.👍

Rye Field Models or Dragon would be your best bet, with the accuracy going slightly towards the Dragon kits. 

You could probably find two of the RFH kits though, for the price of One Dragon kit

I've got one of Dragon's Late kits (6406) & like it a lot. However, unless you're lucky, they can be a bit on the high side $ wise. 

I recently got RFM's Initial (5075) in the mail & if the quality of this kit is anything to go by, you'd be hard pressed to find better value on their Late Tiger I kit

If you believe David Byrden, all current T1 kits are nigh unbuildable/inaccurate...🤣

But RFM would get my vote, if only for the interior (get the hoses set!)

Oh and for encyclopedic knowledge on T1 here us David's site: tiger.info
