Hi Guys,
Here are some images of my Tiger IE (sPz Abt 502 Russia summer 1943), kitbashing both Revell Tigers, Dragon barrel, MIG early engine deck and Part photoetch (with some scratchbuilt details).













Painted with Colormatch and Humbrol enamels, weathered with oils and MIG pigments.

Why do you put a 1/16th model on the Braille Scale forum????

Because with that much detail it must be 1/16 right!!????

Fantastic!!!!

If you didn't say what scale it was I would be hard pressed to say 1/72. The deail is fantastic for this scale.

I'm beyond impressed! Just simply stunning!! The detail is just outstanding!!
Oh please though, tell me you ARE gonna put down just a touch of groundwork and put this well-deserving cat into real battle? Nothing makes me want to cry more than a superbly built model sitting on a varnished plaque like it's been pulled out of line!

Simply the best 1/72 scale model I personally have ever seen. It really looks like a big tank. Remarkable.
