Well Mike, I wasn't much older when this kit first appeared. I've build both Tiger and Centurion as these kits were reissued several times over the years. Thomas made a interesting point though, as the 1:25 serie had kits in both motorised and static version. The motorised version lacks the interior, and is therefore much less fun to build. But as far as I've noticed, for the last 15 years or so, only the static kits have been reisued. But check it to avoid disappointment. Both these kits are a nice opportunity to 'try and train' your scratchbuilding skills as the usual aftermarket sets are non existent, and the scale prohibits using the spare box for replacements! I remenber converting the Centurion to a 105mm armed MK 5, and I used the Tiger for my first zimmerit experiment, and I was rather satisfied afterwards. :-)
