Well, this is the first model I have built in 15 years. It has not been washed yet. I am also looking for suggestions on how to make the tracks more realistic.

Sorry try this

Sorry, it's the Tamiya final version. Thanks for the feedback.

The tracks look fine to me ,after you add mud, dirt, ect . a lot of the track wear and tear dissapear. The sag is good to ,on my tiger i had to put small peices of foam to get the sag right . Can't wait to see the finished product . later T T -13 OUT. P. S. GOOD LOOKIN CAMO !!! KEEP IT UP .

I added some camo. I am not happy with the top of the turret. I still need to blend some more, wash it, and add the parts that are missing. This is my first camo job with an airbrush. Actually its my first paint job with an airbrush other than just primer or base coat.

The camo looks great, leave it! Remember that tanks were painted and repainted in all kinds of different and not so optimal conditions, especially Tigers. I would agree with you that a wash and some wear and tear would really bring this model alive. Also, a flat coat would help to reduce the sheen and increase the look of the kit.

If you are really brave you could try to heat and bend some of the "sheet metal" up...

Nice work.
