is that a real tiger?!

NICE JOB

Wow, after the first pic I started skipping through trying to find the pictures of your tank because I wasn't interested in looking at reference photos. Amazing job.

Dave,

Excellent work !! ( or should I say FUN ). To repeat Justin " Is that a real tiger"?

What did you do to finish those exhausts ? They look like they should . Is that a Tamyia kit.

Wow, impressive. Nice job on the zimmerit too, looks convincing (as in, hand applied, not too even like some aftermarket appliqués). If I were you I'd give it some paint chipping around the hatches and high-wear areas, and dust the undercarriage with some pigments.

Well that's...perfect... did the german army invaded california ??

Better hope the highwaypatrol doesent spot you... no tags!!

frank i used modelmasters metalizer jet exhaust on all of my exhaust along with a slight amount of a rust pigment bushed on dry. yes this a tamiya static kit. as far as the paint chippin goes i haven't decided on the application or technique. brush applied or sponge.when i do my final sealer i will dust it with some buff and earth tone tamiya paint.

Hi Dave ,

thanks for the info on the exhausts.

I find the best way for chipping is with a brillo/scotchbrite pad. Cut a little square out, pull it apart a bit and then hold it in a pair of tweezers. Put some paint on, dab it on a tissue to get rid of the excess, and then go to town. The result looks really nice. Painting with a brush takes a lot of practice to look convincing and takes forever - using a scrub pad gives great results with not much effort.

thanks for the tip with the scotchbrite pad .

Wow! That's amazing, great work!
