The rfm Tiger! Interesting! OOB or with tweaks?

No completely out of the box build till it comes to the dio which is going to be scratch built but tank out of the box

M.Julian Marles
Great. From what I understand the tweaks are fairly minor anyway.

Martyn and John what I can tell you is that the kit itself really is a pleasure to build with only minimal work when it comes to the build though I do have to warn you both now that some of the instructions are misleading including parts on the wrong sprue the position for the commanders copula but all easy to work out detail wise love it I truly do

Wayne Hale
I will follow your build with interest.

John Dunbar

I have to say that I really enjoyed doing this build from Rye fields models, there were no real fit issues and some minor errors in the instructions can set you of on the wrong foot but once past these you will like it I did I am sure you will enjoy this kit once will built you will have plenty of spares too with them giving you loads of extras in the box which I believe come from the interior version or at least some of it is please anyone looking out for these tanks you really will not be disappointed
