Tiger I Late Production Zimmerit & Full Interior
From Ryefield Model
1/35th scale 
Kit No # RM-5080
This new kit from RFM: RM-5080 Tiger I Late Production Zimmerit & Full Interior
We have some CAD Images of the kit in its early form to show you - these show in CAD form some of the features that apply to this Tiger I Late Production Zimmerit & Full Interior.

You can see here the layers of the kit unpeeling like an orange in CAD form, showing a full hull and interior crew positions, controls and weapons storage with a full engine.
The full turret interior is presented here also in CAD. With the 88mm with all of it's controls and structure, is there to be built up into that impressive weapon. The whole revolving turret is captured here in the kit's many parts.
Speaking of multiple parts, the whole hull, the engine bay, engines and transmission, not only this, but a full load out of 88mm shells are included int he ammunition racks. Of course, we have come to expect this in full interior kits now-days, but this looks pretty good.
The upgraded HL 230 P45, a 23.095 litre (1409 cu.in.) engine developing 521 kW (700 hp) at 3,000 rpm engine is included in the rear of the hull. The engine was in V-form, with two cylinder banks set at 60 degrees.  In comparison to other V12 and various vee-form gasoline engines used for tanks. It looks very impressive here in CAD
The sprues of the kit will be a full box load, with all of the interior fleshing out the model, this will be a big and hopefully rewarding undertaking.
More on this kit closer to release - Until then, check out the Ryefield Website for more info on their kits.
