Very Good Tiger 1 Initial Type, for experienced Modellers.
This is a recent (2014 ?) reissue of the 2005 Dragon 1/35 Tiger 1 model.
Note that the reissue differs from the original 2005 release and DOES NOT include the extra parts including aluminium barrel, brass parts, or individual tracks.
It does include a pair of single piece tracks, and two figures, one holding a movie camera (which is included), moulded in DS (DRAGON STYRENE) hybrid soft plastic.
A single Photo etch sheet provides parts for the front fenders, but disappointingly no mesh screens for the rear hull engine grilles.
The main turret shell is moulded in left and right halves, (unlike the more recent Dragon models 6608, 6730, and 6820 which feature a newly tooled, improved one piece moulding), and therefore some care is required when assembling these to ensure that the finished turret sits squarely.
Otherwise this is a nice kit, and is fairly straightforward to build, it is not really for beginners or the inexperienced, as some test fitting, trimming and filling is required.
Straight from the box this kit can be built as a first 'initial' production Tiger 1, as manufactured circa August to September 1942. The decal sheet provides options for a few vehicles operated by Schwere Panzer Abteilung 502 operating on the Leningrad front in the winter of 1942 to 1943.

Great value, a superb series of books for those who like WWII German AFVs.
I originally bought 'Panzerwrecks 15' a couple of years ago, and have been collecting the whole series, because they are superb.
These books are a fantastic resource for World War Two German AFV fans, great work by the authors in presenting the photo images contained.
The authors give honest appraisals of the subjects, there are no overwrought speculations or daft assumptions, as can happen in some other authors works.
