>>8328482Up next we got Kazi's Tiger offering. It occurs to me only now that I should've snapped a couple more pics showing the insides, since the model, unlike the other Tigers built to date, is designed much like a Lego set with removable sections. The turret sits on a "platform" that comes right off, revealing where a driver and another crewmember can sit, alongside a surprisingly detailed fake engine setup. The build process itself differed from the others in that a lot of the assembly was done in a similar component fashion. Despite being a 995 piece set the instruction booklet is relatively slim, using the old-school simple Lego format where there's no showing what pieces are needed per step; all is inferred from the step itself. Everything is crammed together to maximize space usage which got a little confusing at times, especially when they had you assembling multiple mini-components that wouldn't come into play until the next page turnover. It took me longer to build it than the others (save perhaps for the Sembo Tiger) but I was also watching the return of the NHL with all-day exhibition games, that may have been too distracting heh.
Challenging building conditions aside it's another great take on a great tank; unfortunately the sticker sheet wasn't cut very well, thus the off-set iron crosses. No weapons for the crew either but I've been spoiled by those other sets that drown you in small-arms.
