Hi Nick,

Know what you mean. I had a look at some examples but most just show side view. Just go with the flow. I have toned down the wheels with some dirt shade. I will add numbers and markings before doing too much with the hull and turret.

I will send you a link which might give you some ideas.

Nick,

The camo colours are deep green XF-26 TAMIYA and red brown XF-64 TAMIYA.

I misted over with GW graveyard earth but very lightly above the mudguards as I want to get some numbers and markings on first.

John,
Your Tiger camo paint looks excellent, first rate! A little weathering and it will be complete. The details are superb! I hope you enjoy the RC fun as well. Best regards,
Bob

Thanks Bob. I will weather a little more after numbers and markings go on. Still lots of other little details to add. The motorss are in and operational but have a sound pack problem that Mark is looking into.

The pictures look wonderful John. Looking forward to seeing them for real especially the Tiger. The detailing is great and looks quite different from when I first saw it.

Some more detail added. I built the elevation box but found it interfered with the kit mechanism so had to cut it. Also added a seat for the LOADER. Tilts and swivels.
