Hello,



i have started the paintjob on the kitty. That's the AFV Kit with some upgrades from Voyager, Fruil tracks and selfmade Stuff with Evergreen profiles. I made a step by step articel for the german forum models-in-action.com via Adam Wilder Style It's my first model with the Modulation-Style and now I started the Red Brown Comouflage.

I have one pic everything does not want to betray yet



Thanks for looking

Hi Florian,
can see the photos now and that looks like it's going to be a mighty impressive Tiger, Can you list what you upgraded with the Voyager, Fruil tracks & your evergreen please. How was the build of the AFV kit? Did it go together ok? I've never actually built amy of the kits but might do soon. What are your plans for this, any figures, base etc, I look forward to seeing this finished.
Kenny.

Hi Florian! This looks good and interesting, I was thinking about employing 'modulation' paint upon one of my Tigers, to give the impression of 'sunrise'. I have two of these AFV club Tiger 1 Lates pasted but no further on, they do look crisper when painted. Nice work with the zimmerit. Did you use a roller applicator tool? Looking forwards to this developing! Regards Phil...

Hi Florian loving the work you've done on the Tiger so far which version of the AFV kit is it 1/35 or 1/48?

Thank for your answer !
I attempt some now ask answer. The AFV- Kit is completely that for the newcomer correct. To build beautifully and simply. The PE Set of Voyager is just as much good and stands ABER or LIon Roar nothing after. Yes I have used the Zimmerit applicator from AFV-Club uses, also my first model with Zimmerit is. Until now a small vignette is planned with a few figures but I want to get the tiger readily.
Now the tiger is ready soon. Some details as the MG, Bosch Scheinwerfer and some things at the rear must still be complemented. I made new photos for you so that one sees the present state and hopes onto some suggestions what became good and things one maybe still could correct.

I agree with the others, you've done an outstanding job on that Tiger. The rusted up tracks on the turret are very nice especially the painted numbers on them.

Just one possible negative is the MG a tad short? otherwise a very nice build and paint job.

Thanks to all for the comments !

that pleases me to read after the hard construction time ! The turret Numbers are from Bison Decals "Tiger late mix" those ones fell to me also immediately. I did not attach the MG 34 yet. Because these parts interrupt with pleasure.

Big thanks !

Cheers

Florian

Great build! It truly looks as if the drivers hatch will pop open, the engines will fire, and it will begin rolling off your table. Impressive!
