Here are some photos of my Skybow Tiger I Late. I am modeling a Tiger as it would look with the 507th Heavy Panzer Battalion in Poland in January, 1945. My goal is to make the tank look heavily used and fairly well beat up. This is my first armor model (I'm a model railroader) so I hope I can do the model justice as far as painting and weathering go.

An accuracy note, if you're interested:

Those photo-etch frames on the rear hull, for holding the mudguards, simply could not have been on a Tiger of this period.

Also, the exhaust shrouds are swapped around; but this could easily happen in service.
