tiger 1

Post by yves mouton »

Hello Simon,

Thanks for the compliment, the paintjob is not so good like on your models, but i like that color for the tiger1 ( humbrol matt tank grey nr 67 ). Your paintjob and weathering is always a masterpiece, i wish that i got that feeling with airbrush. I would like something like this for my tiger

Hi Yves,

Glad the little fellas got there OK. Have you tried Monkey Depot in the US for your bino's, they sell a lot of loose items.

Cheers,
Sym.

Monkey depot are good, also War-toys. War -toys list on ebay also. Did you cut the sweaters arms off to make movement easier. I think Sym suggested that in the instructions. Also use fabric softener to soften the jacket sleeves.
