Jens Andrée Bought this Tiger I for my oldest son who sadly gave up after sanding the first half of the road wheels and gave it to me to finish it.
I expected better quality for the price I payed for it... Lots of flashing on the sprues and the fit is a bit wonky. Great selection of decals though - but don't expect them to be realistic because they are from the game World of Tanks. Quite obvious actually 😉
Should be a nice tank when the paint and weathering is finished though.

Daniel Smith I saw that Hobbylobby is carring Italeri kits now, and they have this one for $49.99 USD. But with the 40% off coupon it's only $29.99 USD, might pick this one up the next time I'm in.
Indeed, as Urban said, ultimately the choice is yours. But I feel I must warn you that the WoT kits suffer from quite a bit of problems, not in the least the molding quality. I wrote about it a while ago here: scalemates.com/whatsnew.php?topic=1299369
In the mean time I have been able to personally verify that more of those WoT kits follow the same pattern that I mentioned in the post in that link. Italeri really isn't targeting the more serious modeler with those kits.
So yeah... I really like some of those older Italeri kits, and I have bought a couple, like the #6502 M24 Chaffee and the #240 Chevrolet Gun Tractor (D-Day Edition). But the WoT kits specifically, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole 😉

herbert otto gille i just finished the W.O.T. tiger 1 overall a cheap kit with some issues .... it comes in 2 sorts early / late i preferred the late ( have some spare parts from dragon late tigers ) so i can correct some flaws , the decals are indeed from W.O.T but i have dozens of spare decals so i built her in the SCHW PZ abt 505 the kit in itself is no match to dragon or even tamiya ,but ok ill just have to do it with her 😉 the parts do fit quite good , just here and there some minor adjustments , little bit of flash but ok , ive had better tiger 1 and worse so i give her a 70 out of 100
