Good for postcards too.
I bought this to house a postcard collection, as well as related photographs. It is easy to use and stylishly designed. Each page has pockets, two portrait and three landscape format. The pictures slide in, with no trouble at all, and stay where they are put. The pages are plastic and bound in, not ring-bound. I'm very pleased with mine.

Ok as a basic replacement but needs extra work to be accurate
If you are buying this as simply a spare hull for a radio controlled model and are not interested in historical accuracy then it will serve very well. If you wish to build an accurate tiger however, it will need extra work.
I am currently engaged in re-creating Michael Wittmanns's two most famous Tiger 1's in 1/16th scale. . . (did you ever start a project and only then realize just how much work was involved?)
I bought the Hobbyboss Tiger(s) without realizing how inaccurate they are. . . (I couldn't afford the Tamiya ones. . . )
I ended up buying four of these upper hulls (two for the matching engine deck grilles, and two to replace the Hobbyboss upper hulls). The tools are molded to the upper deck but can be carefully cut away. Tow ropes, lights, 's' mine launchers etc are included but the tow ropes are better replaced with metal ones and the 's' mines will need working on too.
The bow machine gun will need to be replaced as it bares no resemblance to the real thing. The front mud flaps/fenders are modeled drooping on the hinged edges down when they should be flat, so they too will have to go! There are numerous small sink marks on the upper hull that will have to be filled, and removing some of the molded on tools will create voids, again easily filled. The securing bolts on the rear hull are in the wrong places and the latches for the cooling fan grilles are molded in place, and will need to be removed and replaced by those from the hobbyboss kit. The Tamiya grilles will not fit without extra work.

Excellent. A pleasure to build.
