Hi Phil,
Your build is looking good, mine has got a long way to go to get to where you are.
A quick question what base colour and make are you using ?
Regards Roger

Thanks Roger :D
Take your time with your build,most of all enjoy it,even the problem bits :)
Over my red oxide primer I am using U-Pol filler spray a beige colour,and its good
for helping to cover up som things that you want to and is just right for the Tamiam
TS-3 Dark Yellow spray and it doesn't take much to cover.
I am modelling my King Tiger at about the time that the dark yellow was running out,
might even have been the last few tins :)
There are loads of postings on the Forum which you may have already discovered,to take
ideas from.
Enjoy your build.
Cheers
Phil

Thanks very much Paul,
I am modelling my King Tiger in Hungary in winter 1944-1945.
My end finish will be a subtle winter cam over the original so you can still
see some showing through.
Cheers
Phil
