Brian's 2017 NO. 10 LATE TIGER 1 BUILD

[Tom OBrien]

That's great to hear.

It pays to think ahead, right? Something I don't always do...

Fender mounts...

I recommend filling the cap head screws BEFORE doing Zimmerit. Otherwise the tile adhesive will leave a divet after it dries.

[Brian Ostlind]

I sanded the zimmerit very quickly with 150 grit to even it out.

I am leaning towards this camo...

Nice to see some progress on your model Brian. Mine is a bit stalled. I like that colour scheme. I intend to use those three colours also. As it is I already have that greenish basecoat.

I like that pattern too.

For mine, I assumed the tank was transported from the factory in a base red oxide primer. The crew might have been sent some green along with it, and left to camouflage it themselves in the summer of 1944.

Looking good Brian, always interesting to see what other addicts are getting up to, thanks for posting.

Cheers

[Tom OBrien]

Yes, it's looking really great.

It took me a few minutes to figure out how to install and remove the overlapping road wheels.

Very fun build.

I dream of warmer temps and painting tanks!

I got some upgrades in from Martin Diessel. He has LOTS OF PARTS!!!

[Martin Diessel]

Great to see your progress! Reminds me on my first shots! Go ahead that way!!
