The box-art of the 'Tiger I Mid Production / cutaway'


The kit

This kit is not yet released. It appears to be Rye Field's existing Mid Tiger kit, with the addition of optional "cutaway" wall panels to expose the interior.

Rye Field's Mid Tiger had numerous errors in its interior. According to pre-release images, this kit retains most or all of the problems from that older kit.

This kit also adds a new problem; it does not provide correct parts to build Tiger "217" of Otto Carius, although decals for that tank are included.

My ongoing review and comments;


Hull front Jerrycan basket Gunner's control panel
Turret floor Bins under the floor Mantlet sealing frame
Nuts inside the rear wall Ducts on the floor Damaged road wheels
Turret ring bolts Crew's fuse box Turret seating ring
Ammunition bins Electrical connector cable Ammunition rack cover
Modern electrical panel MG ammunition storage Fan cover plate
