Hull front edges in Fujimi early Tiger

To the home page

Fujimi's 1/72 "Early" Tiger has a problem with the front edge of the hull.

Front edges of hull

The front edges, indicated in this photo, are slanted and short. This style was used only on the first few dozen Tigers. A longer, almost vertical front edge was used in most "Early" Tigers, including Tigers "131" and "323" from this kit's decal sheet.

This slanted edge is correct for the "712" decals.
