Still need to add some detail like paint the front machine gun and add rustall,feel free to add your comments.thanks for looking at my work

I'm guessing that this is the Italeri kit ? I like the worn paint along the edges of the turret and hull . About the only thing that I see is that the track is a bit loose at the drive sprocket in the last pic . I know that this can be a gripe to fix I've built two of the Tigerts from Italeri and the treads are a bit tricky . I like the Tamiya link to link a bit better , but not by much . I'm not a fan of link to link at all . Good work keep it up , Toad out .

You did a pretty good job on this old Italeri kit ....It not easy to get that big seam to dissappear on the turret sides. You have done a nice job painting and the chipped paint looks good..I do agree your track is floating a bit both in front and at the back near the idler..I would use a few more washes here and there ...ie..in the smoke granade launcher tubes and around the wheels. There is one thing ...and this depends on what you were planning to do when you built this kit... The decals you have put on the kit are not historically correct...Now like I said ..If you just wanted to build a Tiger well that is fine ..but if you wanted to build the 222 from the 504 well there are some details that are wrong ...The lights were added to the front plate just for the first company of the 501Panzerabteilung...Same thing for the exhaust shields ..on the 222 they were the round type without the ventilion slats... The front fenders were the later wider ones seen on most tigers. Also 222 had an escape hatch on the turret side instead of the pistol port. The crosses were paint a bit further forward ...The wire for helping to change the tracks was attached differently to the hull ..(Italeri's is for a late) and last but not least there should be a white rhombroid with a red line through it with the number 2 in white on the hull sides up near the front... Now I'll say it again this is not a critique of your build ....It all depends what you wanted from this build ..Does it look like a Tiger ..Damn right it does... Good job.

Thanks for your views rick,i had to use the 222 decals as the right 712 number i messed up trying to cut them separately to stop any silvering .as for the tracks they are from a tamiya model tiger that i messed up trying to do a winter wash.as am still only learning i was quit pleased with the out come,only been doing afv for a short time its all about confidance.thanks again for taking your time to look at my work, karl

Super ..I'm glad to see you took it as I meant you to...Not as a critisism but as extra info that you will learn from ...now if those are the Tamiya tracks you can probably glue them down.no big problem ..I noticed that they weren't the original tracks because Italeri has the later tracks with ice cleats on them ... Keep up the good work ..There is one thing you have that I don't ...that's a finished Tiger your collection..So many projects so little time !.

p.s. Italeri should have their butt kicked for even putting those marking in that kit....Somebody didn't do their homework...So not all your fault :-)
