The Tiger 1 from Rubicon Models seems a decent kit, good and sturdy parts (for heavy handed wargamers) but still well detailed.
The mighty Tiger is something I've been wanting for a while, not really for use in a game as such (in Bolt Action it is hard work) but just to have the iconic tank!

| Over compensate much? |
The model itself was pretty easy to build with one piece tracks (very strong) and just a couple of parts to assemble all those wheels - the tank seems to have more wheels than it needs. Then the hull was two central parts, again very sturdy, with front, rear, side and top 'plates' glued onto the central box. this all went together pretty easily and looks like it will stand

The turret was peculiarly in two halves (left & right) with the choice of three different turret tops to go on the top of these two, again a good solid fit. The main gun is hinged so it can be elevated and comes off the sprue in one part too.

| "Aim here" |
Along with the good quality and detail of the kit's structural offerings is the nice amount of options available - early, mid and late war options for wheel, turret, several ports & hatches and an optional air filtration system - all allowing you to build several different variants. The pintle mounted MG is also an option for those that want to mow down enemy infantry!
