I almost had a heart attack. I’m watching with the close caption on and it said the price of the Tiger was $999.00 gotta love close captioning auto stuff!

Hi Andy. That big box is AMAZING value! 😮 I would be seriously tempted if I didn't already have more kits than I am ever likely build sitting in the stash - including one of your 1/16 Tigers waiting for me to pluck up the courage to build it! 😂

Have never built a Takom kit, but I took a chance on the bundle due to the price. Seeing the plastic has me really excited to get these in.

They make nice kits. Plenty of detail and fit together well. I like them more than Dragon and Trumpeter.

Cool kits, thankx for sharing, waiting for some builds again. :)

I can't wait for my 3 pack to come in. Thanks Andy for all these cool models and deals. You provide modelers with alot of choices.

Fantastic Andy! I am so excited to get my three Tigers soon. I thoroughly enjoyed the 16th scale Sherman and the Tiger I from you. You deserve all the success and accolades you get! Thank you!

These look great Andy. Those pre damaged Zimmerit sections look like a life saver for the builds.

I'm glad I pre-ordered seeing the options available. I'll be building Tigers for a couple of years.

Hi Andy , couldn’t help myself ordered the big box 😊 . Greetings from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

Look like great kits!!!!!

Nice detailed video, Can't wait for them to arrive.

Takom releases kits that cant be beaten for the price. Great review once again thanks!

Very nice, I love building the Tiger!

Just received my Tiger 1 Big Box. Thanks Andy!

Ordered mine back in November. Can't wait to get it.

Thanks Andy, huge fan of your channel and your products.

I'm very excited about these kits

My hobby has been more about collecting kits lately. I always have one on the deck being worked on. But definitely buying more than i can build. I enjoy the historical facts regarding each kit pluss i really enjoy the way and detail how there made.

I can't wait to get mine!

Works 4 Me. Look forward to getting the Tiger Box. Love the fine details. Another Home Run Andy. Keep up the Great Vids. Hope you had a great Christmas Sales Season. As always and for Me Over and Out from the Frozen Heartland.

Never preordered a model before... Preordering games you shouldn't do... I know that. So hopefully it'll go well with this. Can't wait to get my hands on it! One for myself, one for my uncle, and one for my dad. :D

Cool as always.

Just ordered the big box cant wait for it now, counting down the days

Can't wait till my three arrive! 👍🏻

Can’t wait for my big box! Hurry!!

I have some nice panzer brass MG barrels that will fit the front nicely 👌 I also really like how we get some engine bay moldings to see through the screens.

I'm ringing my hands waiting for my big box order 😊

These look to me like the consummate tigers. I love zimmerit.. this is the best yet for sure. Patiently awaiting my big box. Ordered months ago ❤

Those kits look fantastic, and a bargin for the three kit combo, well in US dollars not certain whst it will be if the come to Australia, Andy will you be going back to your build videos anytime soon? Cheers from Australia

Big Box is a great value, looking forward to it

Just picked up the Otto kit Thanks Andy be nice if Takom did a Kurt Knispel either in Tiger 1 or King Tiger!!

What a good price, the big box, wow

I am happy to see the individual kits are as inexpensive as the Big Box set. I don't know what I'd do with 3 Tiger models (I like variety) but a single Tiger kit with that detail for $35 is a deal. Keep up the good work Andy.

Will we ever see a 1/16 Jagdpanther that doesn’t cost $300? I love a nice Tiger just as much as the next guy, but it would be nice. Tank you!

At 14:00 the narration says "The late production will have late tracks in it, the mid will have early tracks". Actually, the Mid kit (which is not in this video) should also have Late tracks. The Mid Tiger of Otto Carius (reviewed in this video) was very unusual in having a set of Early tracks, probably because it wore out its original tracks.

Would like to have early tiger from i believe was at leningrad. The only early i have is i think from the 504th ? From there time in north Africa and that one is a dragon kit. I also picked up dragons north Africa marching paratrooper and MG 34 team to go with it.

Thanks Andy. I'm excited to get my Big Box and build some more Tigers. One thing I noticed is that Takom applied zimmerit to the plate that covers the transmission. Same plate that the front flaps mount to. I think we will have to sand off that zimmerit to keep it historically accurate. I believe the idea comes from a zimmerit coating that was recreated on a tiger in a museum. Just a note for folks. Thanks again!

It's actually not clear if that plate was supposed to have Zimmerit. Photos are few and far between. It's probably that some did and some didn't.

Did they use the same zimmerit sprues between the two kits?

I have to say, the "Late" Tiger's instructions are confusing as regards the optional parts. Takom don't clearly tell you why the options exist. Some of them are based on the date of the tank, and some of them make the difference between Command and "ordinary" Tigers. The instructions don't explain this. Takom apparently expect the customer to know the Tiger very well.

Typical garbage Takom instructions mate. Notice, no detail painting call outs either. Takom are well known for bad instructions. Which is a pity, because the plastic itself is good.

How long before they release 1/16th versions??

The Mid appears to be missing the rear mounted gun travel lock, but I don't think those were ubiquitous

Otto Carius' Mid Tiger had the rear travel lock, and Takom's Mid kit includes it. Check out the last pages of the instruction book.

I was thinking about that! My approach would be a snipper, and be sure that you're NOT holding the track with your fingers or anything BUT the snipper. Otherwise there will be differential forces that could break it.

Andy, I'm curious what in your personal opinion is the best Tiger 1 tank kit in 1 35 scale. You don't have to explain it, but I would appreciate it. I know you don't want to knock kits you sell, but your top Tiger 1 kit please.

Outstanding kits with the one exception being the pseudo-torsion bars. They should have been full length and accurate to the actual vehicle rather than the half-length mock-ups that they went with. I don’t understand why they put so much effort into these incredible kits only to literally go half way on the torsion bars.

Tiger ❤.

Andy could you please push Takom to make a 1/35 scale Jagdtiger with full interior 🙏

On Tiger I info which is hardcore Tiger I information center they say it has some issues...

are they going to do a King Tiger?

Hi Andy, the hull gun is most likely an Mg34 (99.99%) the turret machine gun, most likely an Mg42. The difference had little or nothing to do with the firing rate, both very similar. However, the Mg34 replacement barrel came out straight back. The Mg42 the barrel came out from the side and in the space inside the tank would not allow the barrel to be changed..

@daveybyrden3936

6 ай бұрын

Not true. Panzers almost never carried the MG42. Because they already had a couple of MG34, and TWO large boxes of parts and accessories PER GUN, so what's the point of adding a different type of MG that is incompatible with the tools you already have? But, if I'm wrong, you will surely link us to a photo of a Panzer mounting an MG42.

The funny thing about zimmerit the Russians didn't have magnetic mines 😮

The zimmerite pattern is diffurent on the turrets. The late has a larger pattern.

I wish you could focus on new releases like the Zoukie Mira FW-190 and Miniart P-47. I have both. I had to buy from your competitors. Its a bit tiring of Tigers and 1/16 toys.

How about some Shermans or Sherman variants? Yes, I'm a Sherman fan boy!😂

what on Earth is ‘zimmerite’ lol? Sounds like some 1960s toothpaste or cleaning product

Muh wallet can't keep up.

I read Otto Carius's war journal. He was a whiny POS who swore he was not an enthusiastic supporter of the government, but praised an SS unit he worked with. He got transferred to the western front and whined that the US Army wouldn't march in front of his guns; once they located his unit they'd go around, call in artillery, or call in air support. He wanted to face Soviet-style mass attacks that spent lives cheaply, not an opponent that wanted to win, but also wanted to live.

Totally unnecessary. The market ist oversaturated with Tiger (and also Panther, Panzer IV etc...) models. For a change some cars, trucks or medieval stuff would be nice.

Hey my friend, if they’re making these kits don’t you think it’s because they’re meeting the market demand for them? If the other kit styles were more popular then they’d put more of those out. None of this is meant to diminish interest in the other kits you mentioned.
