Tale of Three Tigers

Short Kit Review : it looks like a Tiger II   lol .  Not a bad kit really , your typical compromise  of game piece / scale model . The molded on details such as tools and tow cables are nicely done with a little more depth to them than the Panther giving them a better 3D look . On this kit the C hooks are separate pieces which is nice , again the ones on the Panther were terrible flat looking things . IMO it would have been better to have add on tow cables , more diorama potential , but as a game piece I understand the need to simplify . And having removed the molded on cables on the Panther I don’t relish the amount of work to fix the zimmerit with green stuff if I tackle the ones here . Nice that spare track for the turret sides are add ons , you can actually build to suit whichever photo you use as inspiration . The Tiger I had its spare track molded on , a real PIA to remove and you had to fix the zim , fun times  . It looks like they have finally perfected the 4 piece track system , nice tight fit with no join lines visible . Other kits , the Tiger / Panther / JS II , etc were a struggle at times to with some trimming and sanding involved to make it look good . BUT , they seem to have made the track a little flat with  low relief detail , not what Tiger II track looks like IMO , hopefully a wash will bring out the detail , if not there is always mud . Here’s a photo of the track , Tiger I on the left , Tiger II on the right . What do you think ?
