a Tamiya late Tiger, and the DML Tiger I late, the DML is a better detailed kit. But, the kits are several years apart, and the Tamiya kit CAN be fixed with aftermarket, PE, and a bit of extra time with a drill bit, a file, and a motor tool, and be made to look as good, if not better than the DML kit. Look at Pat Stansell's Tiger book, mostly all Tamiya kits. I'd love to see a revised version of his book to include the new DML kits, even a side by side matchup of good and bad points to each.
