Hi Don,

You and I have been talking for years now. You are a very big Tiger I fan. Build your T I first. That is the one you will enjoy the most. The Panther is a great battler but I know you heart and soul will be content with the Tiger kit. Built the Tiger first.

Chief, I have neither of the tamiya kits you are looking at, so my opinion is neutral in that respect. Now, I have seen both in action and have to say you can't go wrong with either tank. Personally, I am partial to the Tiger 1 because it is simply menacing. With your experience with the Tiger, there is no limit to what you can build! Oh heck...who am I kidding here? I'm with Buckeye, buy em both!

Ever since you have been around here it's always been about the Tiger I. So get that one! It's a good build with plenty of aftermarket options to go with. Like I said earlier, the kit can stand to have a metal barrel, and I do believe Stella Models on eBay has one for the TI for under 20 bucks last I saw.

Don, the Panther is just about the best Tamiya fighter you can get and a hell of a lot of fun to drive. Very tough choice but since you have tigers go with the Panther. You WILL LOVE IT.
