Michael, those were wonderful days when Kmart had a fat seleof model kits including Tamiya! According to local legend one could ask the locsl Kmart to special order a specific model kit. Of course, our nearest Kmart was like forty miles away! To far by bicycle.
There’s more good feeling with this old kit. Eight clear steps & about 150 parts!
Growing up building elegant kits like this I understand why I generally dislike 1,500+ part, 45 step kits.
Kali nearly fell out of her cat tree laughing saying that elegant 150 part Tiger will end up at 1,200+ parts, in 78 steps…and take three times longer than the same Dragon kit for maybe half the details for five times the cost…just wait.
On a serious note if someone has this Model-Kasten early Tiger wheel set and is willing to sale please contact me. I’d like to build with the correct number of wheels.
Thank you
