The box-art of the 'Tiger 1 Late Version'

This Airfix kit is the "Tiger-I Late" from Academy, reboxed. Because I have commented on the original kit, I will only speak here about the changes made by Airfix.

Airfix have not used Academy's decal sheet, which had ten options. They have replaced it with one of their own, covering two Tigers. One is Tiger "200" of s.Pz.Abt.507. It's impossible to judge the accuracy of this scheme because there are no known photos of Tiger "200". The other is Tiger "112" of s.SS.Pz.Abt.101. This Tiger was built in April 1944 and is a close match to the kit's contents, but not an exact match.
