hi guys I built the tiger 1 & what I found was it was a good kit but took to long waiting for all 140 issues & 3 years to build tanker 242.

Geoff, that's a shame.
Having said that, I bought the first two issues and it was a mixed bag.
Having the sides from the turret as a separate part is a ridiculous idea - this was bound to need a lot of sanding before it looked right.
Plus, like the Tiger, the plastic parts are rather 'soapy' and not particularly well-defined. It looks a lot like a scaled-up 1/35 scale kit.
No doubt some of the parts will soon wash up on ebay's shores...
