I finally finished this Tiger. However, I decided to cut back on adding a complete interior and after market stuff.

Items used:
Cyber hobby Fuhrmann Tiger (base kit)
DML Initial Tiger (wheels and other odds and ends)
Frui Tracks
Aber photo-etched clamps
DML Late Tiger (brass exhaust shields)
Voyager (smoke dischargers)
Tiger Model Design (grenade launchers)





















Thanks for looking

Pleae feel free to comment

I like it, it's nice to see a subtly washed and weathered job in contrast to a totally abused vehicle,chipping looks realistic.

I think it's the 12th picture down,it looks like only one track link has been sanded down to bare metal on the front of the tracks,shouldn't each raised part on the links be sanded bare,that's the beauty of friuls.

just one small point,but everything looks top notch !!!

Very good work Nicholas. I like the effect the dark wash gives the tank. Good photography too.

Thanks for your comment. Actually, all of the link tops are sanded down to bare metal, but because of the photography, it doesnt show.

Thanks again

This is a great Tiger, except I believe that the rear escape hatch was not sprung, and would rest on the engine deck. Apart from that, it's a great job!
