Fellow Tiger People:
The very same day I report "no news" on the 1/43 Tiger kit, I
receive a message from K&R, along with an image I'll forward to Mark
Olson for the website.
As I see the picture, this Tiger has a lot of detail missing in
other Sunbeam miniatures this size, but some misproportion of some of
the "small bits". The bumper guards and door handles, in particular,
look oversized, although this could be attributed to the photography.
The headlamp rings are bright-finish, as seem to be common on Tigers in
the UK and Europe.
Well, I'll be ordering one. This kit is affordable enough (but
freight???) to risk chopping one up to fabricate a Lister Lemans coupe
or a Tiger Harrington, if desired. Or build a little Mumford suspension
or IRS to install...
