Got a Tiger in my collection and all-ways wanted a crew for it , so I bought the "Tank" set ,
these two...





I've just about done with the flesh tones .
Will keep you posted on my slow progress.
This is the Tiger they are destined for.........









Now , before you all go off one one about the colour , this is my interpretation of an old black and white photo .
Also I noticed too late that the crew are wearing different head gear. Too late now , plus I like the hats they are wearing.
Will probably take ages so bear with me as I'm also trying to do another tank aswell.
Cheers , John.

Hi John I'll be interested to see how these two turn out. I haven't made up my mind wheteher i like TANK figs or not

No problem with the different headgear unless the Tank is an SS unit as these two are regular army

Blimey...! How long...!
Made a few other kits , but always did a bit on these figures and here they are .



Never got round to doing all the wiring for the mics and such but would probably never have got this far....





Over-all shots....





Well , there you go , dont ask me to paint figs for you unless you can order about two years in advance . Would definately get Tank figures again .
Cheers, John.

Hi very nice build.those Tank figures are sure nice.

I remember when I was building S33 many years ago and trying to find the right camo colour,some say dark green over dark yellow or brown over dark yellow.so I went along with the Bison decals colour scheme of green over dark yellow,anyway not to open a can of worms ill leave it at that
