Model Tiger

Post by Mark Love »

Part one of the many part series, included in the first issue is a getting started DVD guide a small magazine, computer rendered poster and the first parts of the model to make a 1/16 scale Tiger tank.
At 50p for the first issue not bad £2.99 for the second and third issue and all remaining issues at £4.99. The first parts of the kit included in issue one are the gun barrel, muzzel brake although I have no idea how many issues it would take to finish the tank off although guessing it will be loads. Not as much fun as getting it all in one or two boxes though.

Noticed some of the detail on anoher forum, It's about 120 issues, finishes in 2013 and amounts to about £700. Just as well by a tamiya, its around £200 cheaper and you can have straight away.

The same is happening in Italy, by Hachette, but for 140 issues and a final cost of 962.61 Euros.
Crazy and surpising
