Tiger Ausf.H Photoetched Brass

Manufacturer:Eduard (# 22021)

This setcontains about 165 parts, including:

• engine deck screens
• hull and turret smoke grenade launchers
• hatch handles
• muffler heat shields (three styles)
• front and rear fenders, and braces
• tool kit and mount
• pioneer tool parts
• numerous brackets
• periscope covers
• mud splash guards
• muzzle brake details
• hatch hinges
• turret escape hatch
• turret interior detail

This isthe first set I've seen that includes interior detail. Itincludes the cannon breech, and gunner's seats inside the turretfor some rudimentary detail. It's not enough to stand alone, butit's an excellent start for someone who chooses to super detailtheir turret interior.

Of all theEduard sets I've reviewed, I think this is my favorite. The waythey handled the pioneer tools (only replacing some pieces), andthe numerous optional parts, makes this an excellent set. Withthe optional exhaust shields, fenders, and the turret escapehatch, this set will allow the builder to make any version of theTiger which had the early wheels and early commander's cupola, byusing the Revell Tiger H kit. Most of this set is also quiteuseful for the Tiger E, and I doubt that Eduard will be releasinga separate set for that kit. This is a superb set which I highlyrecommend.
