Good luck with it and enjoy the build. Post some pictures of the build. We don't see much interior detail here. I started my Tiger in December and will hope to get it build by september. Cost a lot but when you consider the enjoyment of building it it's great value.

Started to subscribe but stopped as it is not clear about the cost in US Dollars or the shipping cost? Could you tell me how they start the billing? or does that issue come after you select subscribe? Thanks Sax

you have to subscribe to it then they send every thing to you per month 4 copies and where you want to start off from like issue 1 saxondog
the first part is the 88 mm cannon and as you can see you get all the turret first from my link with all the build pic's
and the turret is near on all metal not mutch plastic the plastic parts are all in side
for a 1/16 tiger 1 i think its worth it for price but to me the price dont come in to it
it's the experience you get of painting it and building the tiger 1 and there is so much detail

This is a great model that you are building. When its finished it would make a great centerpiece in any room. Do you plan to display it on a diorama base ? I would love to give this type of build a try. They have brought out lewis Hamiltons F1 car in this way. My only fear, and I have heard rumours, is that some times they cancel the run of magazines before the models are built. Anway, your doing a fine job, :clap: :clap: :clap: keep the pics coming, a picture paints a thousand words.
Cheers
