Tiger Model

Feels like XMas - only better. Model found a nice elevated place

Very nice and I think the first in 1/18 scale too.

Looks like a transition Tiger with the round corner doors.....

At least a MkIa Tiger in 1/18 scale. Even with a California black plate. Not cheap, but detailing is superb. Just love it

That's Sweet ... very detailed, with visors in fact!

I was disappointed when we gave feedback to CULT for the prototype model...we raised the doors were wrong and that they should have a square corner at the rear and a seam.. not sure if the car they based it off had some odd repairs or the people making the model used photos and just mixed and matched.

The tyre profile is a bit too tall as well.. but you can add a thin whitewall strip and will help the proportions and make it look smarter anyway... Also paint the visors white.

Come on Michael, don't be too much picky. Think it's the best of all Tiger models I have seen so far plus who is offering 1/18 scale ? Anyway wouldn't want to paint anything on this model.
If you buy one be careful with the quarter windows. On mine one side got loose during unpacking, but it's nothing an old RC- model bilder can't fix

I noticed that the LHS 1/4 was missing .. it's just annoying they had the feedback and didn't use it.

As a side note... I like the 1/43 models by spark... What kills me about those is that on some models they have the correct curve or square panels... And then on another model....they change it !!.why???
They also did a series 3 alpine...that has a SV soft top cover ... Urgh..

Their LeMans Tiger models are great... Their Targa Florio Tiger is good. The works rally Tigers are Ok, the blue mkia with hardtop is ok, their red roadster is decent... Their ken miles Shelby is decent.. their mkii tiger is decent.
Their LeMans Alpines and monte Alpines are OK.

As a side note someone literally gave me a spark mkii tiger model yesterday

Ask and ye shal receive:

I have all of them except the series 3 models, the mix of series II fuel filler, GT interior and SV soft top, square bonnet and doors round boot was too many errors...

 

[alpine_64]

And the others

Here we go ! Lovely thanks. Even though I'm not regarding myself a big model collector it's great to share & inform the variety to other forum members...

P.S. Normally I tend to focus my expenditures on keeping the real cars on the road, but occasionally there are exceptions

Have you bought the 1/43 HLM model by Autocukt? ..it's a decent representation . Sits a bit high.. but overall decent

 

[bernd_st]

Nope. Didn't know that it even exists up until now...
