 Subject:  Re: Atak vs. Cavalier Zimmerit (for DML's late Tiger 1 (3-in-1)List thread.

I really think the Cavalier sets are better made in terms of fitting the model. I used the Cavalier set for the Tamiya Panther G, and it fit nearly like a glove. There were a few airbubbles though in some of the parts (principally the rear hull). I additionally use the Atak set for the DML StuG IV Early. It has a better pattern, but the fit is much more dodgy. So far I've only completed the lower hull, and while I had to modify the pieces anyway (I'm using the Tristar suspension kit...since DML thoughtfully packaged the next gen Panzer IV hull but not the bogie mounts!), some of the other areas were pretty dodgy...

Damon.
