Was looking to do a new kit, and discovered this campaign with a lot of familiar faces I was torn between the Jagdtiger and Puma, but here we go with a Puma

This build has been just what I needed: A nice and relaxing OOB. But now there's a couple little things to fix: 1. the 6 water cans have solid tops 2. the RB Barrel doesn't fit the hole so drilling a little (the kit barrel is just fine and next time I would stick with it) I never had any worry about parts breaking, but just then the MG broke in half. It was a easy fix and is inside the turret anyways so no problem.

Hi guys
Anthony and Greg are off to a very nice start looking good guy
So while my King Tiger has its primer drying I decided to start my next Tiger for this Campaign

Same 1 that Anthony is building except minus the PE and AM barrel
This is what I got finished today

I was gonna go with a winter white wash over grey but then I found this Tiki Tiger

It is Gray with dunkelgelb camo So I will give it an attempt. There is a decal set for this but I dont know who makes it or where to get is so unless I can find it it will be freehand painted on marking

Sal - I like that photo you've chosen. The camo looks cool


I'm basically done with the build. May add a little more supplies on there. I did a few corrections but decided to live with others. Going to find a camo next.

Some progress with the tamiya tiger I late version. I used tamiya epoxy smooth surface, afv club zimmerit applicator and plenty of baby powder to keep the putty from sticking to my fingers and applicator. I did some testing with other techniques before applying to the real model. This is my first build with zimmerit.

Hi Sal. This is a very popular Tiger. I believe both Archer transfers, bison decals, and Techmod decals make this version in their SS Tigers or Early Tigers decal sets. An Internet search should enable you to find the decal sets. Hope this helps.

@Anthony

Great progress so far ! A nice Tiger !

@Greg

That Puma is looking good !

@Sal

That Tamyia kit just needs some glue, shaking the box and you have a finished build .. nice progress Sal !

I guess you and Anthony should do a 2nd build for this one

@jeremiah

Nice job on the Zimm !!

@Terry

Welcome aboard !! Nice choice, a red sports car is always welcome, you beat the top speed of these Tigers for sure !!

@Jesper

What will you build for this Campaign Jesper ?
How's the progress on that "garbage Heller" Gepard ?
Good luck with that one...

Howdy Y'all
@Greg-where did you get the jerry cans? I'm keeping my eyes open for that kit. Hope I can pick up a Puma at a swap meet.

@Sal-Can't wait to see that "Tiki" scheme.

Take care,
Don "Lakota"

Jeremiah I always admire good zim work. Well done!

Terry. Look forward to the cougar. This campaign has nice variety. We need a fifty something cougar lady figure now lol


John thanks for the motivation

Don the jerry cans are Tamiya and resin from the legend stug set. I have a big cheap roll of tin from the art store I cut pe parts from with scissors

Ok the only place I was able to find the Bison Decal kit for the Tiki was with Lucky Models who had it listed as available and if you dealt with lucky you may know what that means, but I ordered them anyway, we have until July for this campaign so hopefully they come in time to finish

@ jeremiah nice job with the Zimm looking forward to seeing more
