Review: this set is with the whole interior, great for details - great kit, better than expected
Review: Pretty decent model kit! - Let me start off by saying this is a big box! The kit has very many pieces as it has a full interior, molded in tan. Many of the interior pieces are a very tight fit but using small files or a nail file works wonders in fixing this. There are some historical inaccuracies, however I'm a hobby builder and not a competitor so it doesn't matter as much to me. One example of this being the actual Tiger I has ammunition 4 wide not 3. Overall a decent model. I purchased this for around $40-45 if I remember correctly which is the same as the Tamiya kit without an interior. I figured more plasitc for same price in this Airfix/Academy rebox kit. Great deal! This was an extremely fun build, just be careful not to loose any of the very small pieces. If you're on the fence about this kit, JUST BUY IT! You won't regret it! Please take a look at my pictures and video! Also if you're interested you can see more pictures on my Instagram: johns_model_kits I have many interior pictures and I discuss my build a bit on there. If you have questions about this model message me on there. I'd be happy to answer them!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This 'Honey' is an incredibly 'Sweet' deal....
*by S***A on December 8, 2020*

Although this tank kit is diminutive in stature, it's VALUE is massive (Approximately $25.00 door-to-door). The exterior details are more or less "Tamiya level" AND the interior compartment detailing was far better than expected given the kit price point. I've completed countless WW-2 German armor kits, so I've made a concerted effort to build non-German kits over the past two years and I've thoroughly enjoyed the change in focus. I airbrushed a dark grey primer coat, followed by a desert tan base color coat and then used hobby masking tape to mask off the desert tan and then applied a blue/grey split pattern scheme with a final olive green layer on the turret top. Unfortunately, I lost more of the blue tone than I intended after applying filters, pin washed, artist oils and streaking enamels. Although I really liked the end result, I nonetheless regret losing too much of the blue tone as this was such a unique scheme by the Brits. This kit is roughly 95% complete. I'll add some Pigments to the tracks and some of the surface panels at a later date, but overall, this kit is an absolute HOME RUN. Update: 01.24.2022 - I decided to redo my little Honey and I'm happier with the results.
