As a matter of fact, this Tiger II is not an ex-Zvezda kit, but an ICM (from 2016).
But Revells Tiger I kit is an ex-Zvezda

Thanks Stuart, it's a nice one!

Perhaps not so refine as Meng's or Takom's, but nevertheless a great get-back-in-business kit for sure!

Watching this one. This kit is already on my radar.

The tracks are rubber, soft in two pieces / side. I am still planning to order Friulmodels metal tracks, not sure I want to use these rubber tracks. Though, before pressing "order" button, will still test out these rubber ones to see if I can make something out of them.
Thanks for the clarification. It does look like a very nice kit.
