...and finally (in this series of 6660 pictures):



The Gepack Kasten is OOB as I built the Lion Roar one in PE, but the 3D detailing of the box lids was poor & I decided to conserve resources here as the Dragon one is pretty good in any case.

The last detailing to go is the antenna, the Bosch light lens and the travel lock in PE. I should be finished with this build during the week.

I have changed plans & will build Tiger yellow 911 with black outlines Totenkopf for an April 1943 Tiger.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Once again; sorry for the hiatus. Normal service will be resumed with April 1943.

Can't see much wrong there, Bill. But, check this photo;

Thanks David

I'll get some nicer pictures up when the travel lock, antenna & Bosch light lens are on. I won't correct the hatch stoppers, but will bear in mind that detailing for the next fresh Tiger build I get to (I have already built April 1943 engine hatch detailing).

Any more thoughts on my Tiger 911 question?

Thanks Gary & especially for the comment on the Zimmerit - I tried really hard with that.

Never fear; many more Tiger builds to come!

Please find five pictures of my most recent build; Tiger 3 of sPzAbt 508, a November 1943 production Tiger I (mid).

The base-kit is the Cyber Hobby 2011 release back-dated and converted to a non-command version.

The base-kit is enhanced with Voyager Model PE, Milliput Zimmerit, Panzer Art resin barrel with muzzle cover and Friul tracks amongst other small additions.

I hope you like it; I had a great deal of fun building it!












Sorry it took so long - I got busy.

Comments welcomed.
