1/35 Border Tiger I Early (Kit BT-010) - Quick build and Review

[@AdamMann3D]

Interesting. I've not hear anything positive aboutt Borders Tigers. How are the tracks?

[@Beastsbuilds]

Comparable to Takom or Italeri in the layout, though more fiddly with individual teeth for the single track links to be added, seems a bit odd to do it like that I think!

[@miken8875]

Has Border improved with their Initial Leningrad version or is it pretty much just the same problems? I've seen barely any reviews on the Leningrad version.

[@Beastsbuilds]

Unsure mate! I haven't built their Leningrad just yet, I hope they've had a revisit.

[@miken8875]

@@Beastsbuilds a shame. I've been trying to figure out what Initial Tiger to buy to paint up in Panzer grey... Rye Field Model's tracks are apparently very fiddly and I don't want to spend extra money on tracks. Border's Early gets negative reviews but I haven't heard much on the Initial. And Dragon's seems to be sold out everywhere... I might just buy Tamiya's Afrika version and strip it down to look like a Leningrad Tiger.

[@Beastsbuilds]

I can say that I'm a big fan of Rye field, but the tracks are definitely fiddly as their kits generally have working suspension and tracks, I recently did the snow Leningrad dragon kit and it wasn't bad but wasn't without issues. I'd say mucking with a Tamiya kit may work out fairly nicely mate, can't go wrong with Tam!
