Looks good Bob - have you decided on a colour scheme ?

Adrian

Thanks Adrian. No i havn't yet. Being a late tiger I was thinking a Battle of the Bulge colour but I'm up for suggestions.

Got homework to do

Not many white-washed Tigers around - that might be something different to try ?

Good idea, will look into it. It will take more work though as white will need so muich more detail on it. However the end result will be good.

Found on the net

You need to paint regular paint scheme first then whitewash over leaving some of the original showing. Look up techniques with hair spray. Interesting.

Just ordered Tigers in color. I need inspiration for next tiger.

I'm still undecided. The burden of such decisions weighs heavily upon my shoulders. Hell who am I kidding!.

I'll checkout Paul's and I better get that book.

Many thanks for your input

I sunk all the square heads. Looks so much better.

I found i had quite a twist in the turret surround that left the outside wall leaning outwards from the top and consequentially the gun frame and gun sat at a slight angle. Also the gap on the turret roof was too big. It was quite liveable but it annoyed me

So a pair of suspension spring tensioners came to the rescue. I’m gonna bolt in the frame from front then fill the bolt holes, and add a tension bar just bellow the turret top edge at the front of the turret.
