I honestly think that 1:72 kits are harder than 1:35 kits despite having fewer parts. The Jagdtiger has rubber tracks which i thought would be easier but really arent. First of all the rubber seems to have warped a bit so they don't lay out perfectly flat. They also seem to be to small and therefore put to much pressure on the sprockets and idler wheels. Another problem that I have had with these one piece tracks is that the joint doesnt always hold when its under pressure ie. when you're trying to get it on, and you can always notice fairly easily where the joint is. But other than the tracks they're both pretty good kits. The Jagdtiger was particularly easy to put together because there's no turret so the upper part is one big piece, minus the gun and hatches. *edit* You'll notice on the pic of the Jagd that there's a particularly big space where track is joined together. Normally there's no space but because the track is stretched, it's pulling apart at the joints. That's just not on.
