Looks great.
It is good to be historically correct in your builds, as a basis for making the build your own. In other words. Build as you see fit. There will always be some expert out there who will be able to find and nitpick anything. But the true test of modeling is whether or not you are happy with it. I applaude you on a very nice KT.

A very nice KT. The tracks in particular are superb - how did paint them? They look very realistic and "heavy"!

Really good build. I recently bought this kit and look forward to building it. I like the camo scheme you have chosen and those tracks are awesome.

Nice build Ethan, thanks for sharing your painting progress. Looks like you did this kit well, have it in the ever growing slow to build stack. Appreciate your photos!
Looking forward to your next kit. Cheers!

[ Does anybody know SS units that used the Porsche version? [/quote] the Porsche tigers were issued to the army units but not the SS although they apparently trained with them prior to getting the henchel tigers, but this is still a bone of contention amongst modellers. but all info points to no .

Ethan -
Nice set of postings and pictures. Like the way your KT came out, another one of my favorite subjects. Your tracks look good, as does the camo scheme. Thanks for sharing your work.
Cheers!
