The Hobby Boss is a basic kit detailed enough with a nice rolled steel surface texture. I omitted the fenders which required a bit of filling and cleanup on the hull sides. Some details were lost so I redid all the welds with epoxy putty and textured the surface with Tamiya putty thinned with liquid cement.
The tracks about killed me on this. They did not fit together so each knuckle had to be filed down to fit. It was a horrible and tedious process. I have a partially built Dragon Tiger 1 initial that I used for parts to replace some of the basic looking Hobby Boss kit pieces.
Edit: I need to add, every part on this kit needed trimming to fit. Wheels, turret, tow points, hull, you name it.
The Tiger's ancestors are fascinating subjects. Will you finish it as a prototype or as frontline vehicle?
