Here is the first kit I've built in about 7 years.
Tamiya 1/35 Tiger I (RC version)
I've since found out that my airbrush tip had a burr on it, so that should improve the next paintjob right away.
I'm also just learning to photograph my models, so I'm still playing with settings.
I still have to put the tracks on, add the tools, do some highlights and get out the pastels, but I'm pretty pleased with it so far.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey the paint job looks good,bad needle or not.My suggestion is to paint the exhaust pipes a rust color,and soot them up a little.I guess the rest depends on how much weathering your gonna do.Also you should do a wash to bring out some highlites.Don't forget to post more progress shots.
