Hi fellas.
A bit more progress on the Tiger, i decided to have a bit of a break from the rest of the re build and got some colour on the wheels, as you can see one side re fitted and the track on.

Still a bit to do but it feels like you are getting somewhere when the tanks back on its feet ha ha.

I do think the flash on the camera is a bit much, makes it all look very bright, try without next time.
By for now Paul

Hi Fellas.
Quite a bit more progress on the Tiger since my last posting.

I have included this pic with the Tiger 1 book as this is what i was asked to try to replicate, i think its pretty close it will end up a little darker when the final washes have gone on.

Yes i know there is no jerry can rack in the picture

but i was asked to put one on..so there it is lol.

The funny brown marks on the turret mounted track links are rust all that has not quite developed yet i will take a few more pics when i have the numbers and crossed in place.

Still got the tools to finish off painting and few little bits here and there but nearly done i think.

By for now.
Cheers Paul

Excellent paint job Paul. The colors and blending look great. The zimmerit is very cool! An excellent improvement over the aweful original green. You should be very proud of it.
