Hi Team
I've had a few days off work and couldn't stop building this
It goes together like a dream :-) :-) ,no filler anyware,some of the pe bits are too much for me :-) :-) (getting old)and I had to trim the hull side zim to get it to fit (unlike yours Vinnie ) Strange???







Tiz the fantastic Dragon late model Tiger 1 kit #6253,OOB apart from,XXL Eurka cables, Atak Zimmerit and a few scratch built handles
Decals will be Techmod

That looks superb.
One question: I see you've already built the tracks. How will you pain then with them in place? I always add wheels and tracks later, because I've never been able to answer this question for myself

Hi Sean
Thanks mate,the tracks are in three pieces each side,if you look closely you will see some Tipex on the end of a few of the links,this is where they join,the wheels are loose,and can be "juggled" on and off so you can paint and weather them before glueing on the tracks
Cheers

LIke Brian, I'm doing the initial. I painted the road wheels and assembled the running gear, then added the unpainted tracks. I'll paint and weather those before I add upper deck and turret stuff, then paint and weather entire tank
