detail wise its 100% better than the h/long but gearbox and electronics wise its as good as a std T34 quite weak on the suspension and floor pans which i have seen split in half
ive got both the tiger and t34, both have recoil but they arnt that great, im stripping my t34 at the mo and fitting rx18 in as way better than whats in it now, great models and detail, a little thin on the plastic side of things but not bad models realy, if you had all h/l running gear and electrics with the trumpeter detail you'd have a good tank, i thing my tiger is more a mid tiger as its got early road wheels with later type cupola and no airboxes on rear pannel,
have fun and improve as much as you can and your soon have a good running tank!
