Hey all

My dad used to make models as a teenager, 30 years ago. he has some of those models from back then the best condition one was a 1/48 tamiya Pz Kpfw IV ausf H, and we lost it somewere god i hope its not in the roof storage. the next best conditioned one is a tamiya 1/48 Pz Kpfw VI tiger.

as you can see the front right hatch is missing, i have the tracks and the are good.
Dad said i could fix it up in the painting department. i have never done a tank before but im sure i could make it look better than what it is now.

If you look closeley behind the wheels it hasent been painted and i dont know if you can get the wheels off. Dad didnt make em very well, he said he used to burn holes in them which one of the models has and it looks quite good.

can annyone send me a link on what sceme i can paint the tiger in and what colours all the little bits should be.

Thanks

James
