What to you consider to be some of the best sources for painting the Tiger?

Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim,

First decide what front (Western, Eastern or Italy) you fancy.
Then you can choose Division and then scheme.

Here are 2 good books to begin your searching with.
If you donÂ´t have them - get them.

Cheers

Hello Jim . These books are the best value for the money Kent is right there !! . You will see my tiger on pages 19,21,22,27 . In the eastern front volume . My tiger started out as number 3, then number 14 , then number 113 . Notice in this photo you can see the older numbers on the turret also the base colour was grey . Plus you can still see some white wash . The tank was then over sprayed dark yellow . I think this will make a good paint sceme . Dale

Dale,

Just checked out your build in the Gallery, it looks great so far. You got any new Pics?

I just ordered the books, I will check out your selection when they arrive. I ordered a whole bunch of books a couple years ago before I came over here, so I will probably have some doubles, but they are all packed up, and I need books here so I can do a little research for which tank I want to model mine after.

Thanks, Jim
