Reasonable 1/35 King Tiger?

I'm looking for a reasonably accurate 1/35 scale King Tiger kit. I don't want one with excruiating to assemble detail or lots of PE parts.

My local shop can get:

Tamiya German King Tiger Production Turret 1/35 #35164

Tamiya German King Tiger Production Turret 1/35 #35252

Academy German King Tiger A13229

Which of those is a decent kit?

My concern is that the Academy and/or Tamiya 35262 are just reboxed versions of the Tamiya 35164 kit which I know is an older kit.

Does anyone else makr a reasonably uncomplicated yet reasonably accurate 1/35 scale Production Variant King Tiger in the same price range as those above?

Thanks and cheers from Peter
 
The difference between 164 and 262 is parts. 164 was a new tool in 1993 and 262 had new parts added in 2002. I would go with either Tamiya kit personally. Or go for the new Dragon kits with or without zimmerit.
