Martins Tiger1

Post by Martin Hofmann »

Hi all Tiger builders,

I think it's time to show you in several pictures what I have done in the last one and a half year since I got my Tiger1 Mid Production.
Many thanks to Gill and Mark for such a beautiful model.

Regards Martin

Very nice work you have done with the Tiger only a small problem if I may, the inside of the loaders hatch and the driver/radio operator’s hatches were painted dunkelgelb as opposed to the white you have used people painting there Tiger dunkelgrau then the inside of these hatches should also be dunkelgrau the exception being Tiger that were painted dunkelgelb in the field before Kursk then the inside of the hatches could still have been dunkelgrau.
