5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of information
I bought this book when it first appeared. Yes, there are better tiger models out now, but this book is still very relevant to the modeler today. It contains many good close-ups of real Tigers, and shows exactly how to super-detail Tigers, any make or model...using good old styrene and other bits, wire, etc. So you can make an excellent Tiger, without spending a fortune...

2.0 out of 5 stars I'd only buy it for the pictureres
This is an update of an old book. This means that the book spends time explaining how to detail old Tamiya tiger kits using techniques that are no longer necessary with the newer models available. The back of the book is then used to advertise Verlinden update sets.

As usual with Verlinden books, the pictures are great but the modelling tips are not much help.
