Review: This 'Honey' is an incredibly 'Sweet' deal.... - Although this tank kit is diminutive in stature, it's VALUE is massive (Approximately $25.00 door-to-door). The exterior details are more or less "Tamiya level" AND the interior compartment detailing was far better than expected given the kit price point. I've completed countless WW-2 German armor kits, so I've made a concerted effort to build non-German kits over the past two years and I've thoroughly enjoyed the change in focus. I airbrushed a dark grey primer coat, followed by a desert tan base color coat and then used hobby masking tape to mask off the desert tan and then applied a blue/grey split pattern scheme with a final olive green layer on the turret top. Unfortunately, I lost more of the blue tone than I intended after applying filters, pin washed, artist oils and streaking enamels. Although I really liked the end result, I nonetheless regret losing too much of the blue tone as this was such a unique scheme by the Brits. This kit is roughly 95% complete. I'll add some Pigments to the tracks and some of the surface panels at a later date, but overall, this kit is an absolute HOME RUN. Update: 01.24.2022 - I decided to redo my little Honey and I'm happier with the results. Review: Pretty decent model kit! - Let me start off by saying this is a big box! The kit has very many pieces as it has a full interior, molded in tan. Many of the interior pieces are a very tight fit but using small files or a nail file works wonders in fixing this. There are some historical inaccuracies, however I'm a hobby builder and not a competitor so it doesn't matter as much to me. One example of this being the actual Tiger I has ammunition 4 wide not 3. Overall a decent model. I purchased this for around $40-45 if I remember correctly which is the same as the Tamiya kit without an interior. I figured more plasitc for same price in this Airfix/Academy rebox kit. Great deal! This was an extremely fun build, just be careful not to loose any of the very small pieces. If you're on the fence about this kit, JUST BUY IT! You won't regret it! Please take a look at my pictures and video! Also if you're interested you can see more pictures on my Instagram: johns_model_kits I have many interior pictures and I discuss my build a bit on there. If you have questions about this model message me on there. I'd be happy to answer them! ## Features - Tiger 1 Scale Model Kit: When the mighty German Tiger 1 entered service during the Autumn of 1942, it was the most advanced tank in the world and one designed specifically to dominate the battlefield.

On a scale of 1 - 5, with 5 being the best, here's how I would rate it: Accuracy: 5 Detail: 5 Part Definition (lack of flash): 5 Fit: 5 Plastic Quality: 5 Decals: 5 Instructions: 5 One of the best parts of this model is that the tracks are each molded as a single piece in the correct loop shape, i.e. they are not rubber band tracks like those found on most 1/76 scale tanks. They are molded in the same rigid plastic as the rest of the parts in the kit and the fit is exquisite! The only caution regarding this kit is I do not think it is a Skill Level 1 kit, as the box indicates, because it has some very small parts which for most people will require tweezers and possibly a magnifying glass. Nevertheless, because the fit is truly perfect, assembly is very easy. I highly recommend this kit and hope Airfix makes more like it (particularly regarding the tracks). This kit is a huge step above other Airfix kits I have seen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix Model Tank - A02342 Tiger 1, Plastic Model Kits for Adults & Kids 14+, 1:72 Scale, Skill Level 1, WW2 Theme Military Models, World War 2 Tanks - Airfix Model Tank - A02308V Panzer IV, Plastic Model Kits for Adults & Kids 8+, 1:76 Scale, Skill Level 2, WW2 Theme Military Models, World War 2 Tanks - Airfix A02338 Cromwell Cruiser Model Building Kit, 1:76 Scale Small --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/238265879-airfix-model-tank-a02342-tiger-1-plastic-model-kits-adults](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/238265879-airfix-model-tank-a02342-tiger-1-plastic-model-kits-adults) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
