This is my review of Dragon's new Tiger I kit 6820. This particular kit depicts Tiger 131 from the Bovington Tank Museum as it was when it was captured in Tunisia. It has some great new parts in it, but also shares most parts with 6730 the Wittmann command Tiger kit 6730.

It looks like a massive kit Adam. With some cool new parts. I appreciate you taking the time to do such a thorough review. BTW...Scalehobbyist is selling this kit for $63.99 and I ordered one this morning.
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
TacticalJackalope 63? Holy cow that's very good. I think that's a much smarter thing to do than buying it directly from Dragon.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday and almost wanted to throw up after I received this kit on Wed afternoon as I paid around $80.00 after waiting 4 months. I'll never pre-order from Dragon-USA again. I'm in the middle of a gunsmithing project at the moment rebuilding and replacing parts of my custom AR-15 build. Once I finish the AR, I'll return to the model bench to finish the Stug III.

been trying to decide what to do next was a dragon or the full interior from takom or ryefeild I think I'll hone my skills a bit more on this first then tackle the full you have helped me not make mistakes with dragon kits I've heard so much good and bad and your reviews and tiger for dummies got me over the learning curve so I can't say thank you for your time enough I'm thinking of adding tracks for it but not sure if I need to or which ones to get but I'll get that figured out hopefully lol had decided on whitman's till you got to the zimmerit part where it wasnt done that well and thin detail if I do zim I'll have to do a aftermarket kit to get it better than molded in on my king tiger full interior kit just to be safe again thank you so much

Great review! Got mine in the mail last night and noticed the same packing of the tracks. They were not smashed like the others but still not as good as packing them with cardboard. And I am rambling. Great Review Sir!!!
@AdamMann3D

Not rambling at all. So that track thing is just how they do it now. Interesting.

Great review Adam.I was hawking this particular kit on ebay as I wanted to build one after watching your review,then I saw that dragon USA is selling this kit off of their website for $40.00,go figure..picked up a jagdpanther g2 and another of the new panther f for $40.00 .

If the S04 kit and this one are both similar, could you build S04 from this 131 kit? Mine arrived without 131 decals today but i have some leftover S04's.

Nicr review of a gapfiller. CH made more kits and I include them as they are under Dragons management. This kit contain parts from the DAK kit and the first release of Wittmann CH. This is a gapfiller as you can make it a Kharkov Tiger or Tigers used in conjunction with Hermann Göring division on Sicily 1943.
@ebbergman
@ebbergman 8 лет назад
Also I expect the S-minen be more precice after Mr Byrden's relentless research.
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 8 лет назад
+ebbergman I agree. I only don't mention the CH White boxes as they're limited runs and way more expensive. And honestly you can get the sprues 90% of the time in standard run Dragon kits.
@ebbergman

That "V" sprue you were wondering about; it comes from the legendary "Afrika Tiger" of Cyber Hobby (6286) and it's been included in any Dragon kit that needed Feifels.

I have 4 coming from 3 different vendors and the prices came out to $56 plus change shipped at each one. Did this using discount codes, reward points, and free shipping over a certain amount.
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
dobk When I say $80 I'm referring to just what Dragon USA is charging. You did really well getting it at $56. That's exactly what I think it should cost.
@dobk
@dobk 9 лет назад
Adam Mann Dragonusaonline just had 25% off this past weekend but this kit was shown OOS. After the sale it showed in stock. Funny that. I got it because some kits on my order were OOS and they let me substitute it with the 25% off. Dragon dollars and free shipping over $99 got it down to $56.21. On Hobbylinc I got 2 for $56.35 each shipped using reward points I had saved up. The last was from TowerHobbies using a $15 off promo code and free shipping over $49 for a total of $56.99 shipped.

Hobby is getting way to expensive, at this rate I will have to sell off some stuff to keep my Tiger collection up to date, I seen on Ebay there is a white box Otto Carius Mid, its at $135.00 , to rich for my blood, and a Wittmanns last Tiger white box $249.00 , NOT ME !
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
Tony Quinn I would avoid both of those. The Wittmanns last tiger is 99% the same as 6383, just some command antennas and decals are different, and the Carius one only has a different mantlet, tracks and decals from 6700. All things you can modify yourself easily.

You are buying this to do 131. Whatever differences between this and other kits is what makes 131 different. Of course they have different versions of the same kit, that's the whole point. Lol...if you want an accurate 131, then this kit is for you, if you just want a early tiger, there are plenty of other kits out there.
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 4 года назад
This kit has other marking options and can make any very early Tiger. I'm pretty sure that's what i was getting at. When I recorded it. 5 years ago...lolololol or whatever.

Would you have to make your own zimmerit for this kit, or did early Tigers have zim?
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 5 лет назад
Early tigers did not have zimmerit. It came starting with the turret redesign which is when the mid production term started.

@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
Luca Bonaiti Cheapest place to buy this one right now is scalehobbyist.com if you're in the US. It should be for sale most places online though. I get most of my kits from ebay if I'm honest though. But you need to be cautious if you do that.
@lucabonaiti8762

Oh, ok man! I search on ebay tonight, because I'm from Italy and I don't want to pay 20/30€ of expedition just for a kit. Thanks a lot man, as always you do a very good reviews! Ah, If you have Instagram and you want to see my model build, search ldiluke and follow me ;) Take care
@AdamMann3D

Cyber-hobby will rebox it and sell it as the "Fury" tiger and they will be on epay for $150. Just like those girls und panzer kits. $80 for this kit is just the "now" price. It will be $60 in a month or so.
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
chris smith Agreed. I pre-order them from Dragon USA and that's not cheap. The Wittmann seems to have gone down to about $60. Until that is they become rarer and then go back up.
@freewill51
@freewill51 9 лет назад
So since you own both and have reviewed and handled both, which one would be a better deal when the prices equal out? I know the Wittmann kit has the five figures but are there any other extras that would tip the scales? (That question is assuming the buyer is like me and does not have a favorite Tiger era, but Just wants to build a Tiger kit.)
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
chris smith If you don't care about figures. this one would be able to (if you're crafty) build both Tigers. I'm pretty sure all the parts for the S04 kit are all in here. So you can pretty much build any early Tiger with this. It has both Feifel types where the Wittmann only has one. So as just a tank kit, this one. You'd just need the images of the instructions for the Wittmann one, which if you need you could get pretty easy.
@freewill51
@freewill51 9 лет назад
Thanks for all the reviews. I'll keep an eye out for this one, then.
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
chris smith You're welcome man. Give it a few months and I'm sure you can find it at a reasonable price. It's about %73 shipped from scalehobbyist right now, but I would ebay stores like Omnimodels would be your best bet down the line.
@lustejon
@lustejon 9 лет назад
Woow so many blue parts in the instructions for a 80 bucks kit...seems a bit unfair
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
JonATHAN BAE Nam Yeah it's a lot of unused stuff, but that's been the way the Tiger kits have gone for quite a while.
@freewill51
@freewill51 9 лет назад
JonATHAN BAE Nam It's not an $80 kit. That's just what people want for them. Give it two months and they will sell for $50 - $60. Styrene is cheap, but all new molds would be really expensive.
@AdamMann3D
@AdamMann3D 9 лет назад
chris smith I think we can all agree it shouldn't cost what it does. between $50-$60 would feel right.
@TheJer1963
@TheJer1963 5 лет назад
@@AdamMann3D I was looking today and this kit is still going for $72.95 plus $12.00 for shipping. I guess as long as people are willing to pay those prices sellers are going to keep the price up.
