Wow that set looks very nice, I might get one for myself. Is there by any chance some info on the price Darren? Cheers.

Hello all, This is great news and I would love to do a 1/48th Tiger 1 with an engine. However please note that the CMK instructions are wrong, this is not an HL230 Tiger Engine but a HL210 engine fitted to the first 250 production Tigers, would be perfect for a North African Tiger but could not be used on a Mid to Late production vehicle. The HL210 and HL230 can be distingished easily by the number of Air cleaners, the 210 had three and the 230 had two

The engine compartment isn't fully rendered. The set should be OK if the engine is installed, but I think you'll need to add some things if the engine is out. I hope to clarify this when I get hold of a set. David
