Something interesting out of Eduard has a Tiger II Ausf.B in 1/35 scale as part of the ProfiPack editions.
Eduard has announced a Tiger II Ausf.B in 1/35 scale. The kit uses the Academy kit and includes Eduard photo-etched parts and comes with markings for three tanks:

3./s.Pz.Abt. 510, Rengershausen, Germany, April, 1945
3./s.Pz.Abt. 511, Kassel, Germany, 1945
1./s.Pz.Abt.506, Burg Reuland Area, Belgium, 1945

3715 – Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B Tiger II

In Germany the Academy kit can be found around 30 euros on eBay, and the Eduard kit around 40 euros or more : it's a no brainer. Now if Eduard had added a lot more PE, more decals, possibly a turned barrel and some resin bits or maskings for the markings they could have had an attractive package at 50 euros or so. They do that for some aircraft kits, can't understand their marketing on that one. I expect to see the kit heavily discounted in a year or two. Cheers, Christophe

I never bought the Academy Tiger II kit yet, but I intend to, what kind of price ?

As I wrote in a previous reply, I've seen it available for $40-$45 USD at some online vendors. Here's one for $45.18 USD w/Free Shipping.

Eduard should rename this "Profit Pack" since they are not shy about the MSRP

Thanks for this . I asked about this one a bit back -- http://armorama.com/forums/222396&page=1 Definitely overpriced IMO ,, but I learned a lot about the Academy / Eduard connection Keith

I built the Academy Tiger II last year. The only difference I see is the decals - there are no camo decals for the two figures that came with the original. I think this is the same PE that is in the original.
