It's almost Christmas, man!
You will be pressing things at best, if you expect to receive or have a delivery made before Christmas for any of our featured items this week. With that out of the way, let's start with our armored selections this week. All are 1:35 Tiger tanks.
The first and most expensive Tiger is just in at Hobby Link Japan. This item is available for international shipment. For 9,800 yen (or about $83 US) you can get:
Tamiya expands its excellent Masterwork Collection of completed models with this fine rendition of an initial production Tiger I heavy tank, turret number 122, from s.Pz.Abt. 502. As with all Masterwork Collection entries, this model is completely assembled and masterfully painted, marked, and weathered. Features a die-cast chassis with plastic parts, and comes mounted on a display base.
Here's the link all the way to Japan:

Our next two Tigers are from a couple of our favorite vendors back here in the US. They are the increasingly hard to get first two editions of Dragon's 1:35 scale Tigers that have each been featured on this web site.
The first and earlier release is of a Tunisian Tiger. It is an early version of this big cat. Diecast Direct, which will not allow me to copy their pictures or product descriptions, still has it for $69.96. Here's the link:
