More of a preview than a review, but proving once again that you can never have too many Tigers Tamiya is releasing a Tiger I Late version in my favorite scale: link |

No Zimmerit. When I was still modelling in 1/48, Skybow (later AFV Club) released the Tiger mid and IIRC late in this scale with Zimmerit already molded on. For my money, that's the way to go. Damon. |

No Zimmerit. Yeah, I noticed it too. It may have track sections as opposed to the rubber bands of the Skybow kit, but you gotta have zimm on a late war Tiger. I bought five of the Skybow Tigers from this vendor on Ebay selling them for $6 USD apiece: auction Plus the three I bought when the kit first came out, I think I've had enough. |

There is no zimmerit because you are supposed to use the PE set sold seperately. link cheers |

Zimmerit application was discontinued from Sept-Oct '44 – so depends how late late-war you (or Tamiya) mean |

The last Tiger I came off the production lines in August 1944 though….. A company called Cavilier did 'add on' thin sheets of zimmerit for the 1/35 Tamiya Tiger (& others)
