Hobby Boss 1/16 Mk 1 Tiger - Advice Please

[tvrtuscans]

Hi All. At Telford I bought myself the Hobby Boss Tiger. I am starting to get some after-market bits and bobs for the kit - I will list these out when I get back home this weekend - I would like advice on other parts to buy for it.

Also I gather being quite an old kit there are some errors in the kit and was wondering if anyone could direct me to reviews or builds of the kit that could point these out. I am planning to build the kit broadly out of the box with some simple added detail but if there are some howlers in the basic model, I would like to know about these so I can rectify.

Many thanks in advance.

This really isnt an arsey comment, but honestly just Googling and YouTube will show you everything there is to know about that build.
I do it for every build I do. Give me an idea of what to expect and avoid any problems. Also, its great for inspiration.

Also check Scalemates.com for a really well put together breakdown on a kit, its release history & almost complete list of 3rd party parts & decals.

Thanks very much. I had picked up that the kit wasn’t accurate in some respects but, despite checking out YouTube as an earlier poster mentioned, I couldn’t find details. I will get on to that now.

Thanks very much for this link, exactly what I was looking for. And what a great build. Does anyone have any other suggestions/examples?
