This one is something i did for the summer, nothing too much. It's the Dragon #6406 boxing, 3 in 1 kit without the all brass goodies so I used Atak zimmerite, Friul tracks, RBmodels barrel and shackles, added some track pins i found at home (small tackling nails that fit perfectly) otherwise it's oob I plan to add a crew so not much inside will be seen. Any comments?

Nice looking Tiger Mario. Can't wait to see it painted.

NIce job! Very cool Tiger! I really enjoy working with the Atak zim. How easy was the assembly of the friul tracts? How did you apply the small photoetch pieces? White glue?

Thats really impressive,the zimm went on real nice,and those tiny locks and hinges are totally beyond my ability.Looking foward to your paint

I'm no Tiger expert, but it's looking great to me Mario. The only thing I would have done was replace the styrene tow cables with some AM ones. The funny thing is I'm sure I won't even be able to know the difference after you paint and weather everything

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll try to paint it as the instruction says dark yellow with green camo. I like the unusual yellow end-part of the barrel. 334 tank of the 505th.

Atak zimm was easy and a real fast way to make the zimm. It's very precisely cut, so any discrepancies are my fault as I probably didn't cut it out precisely from the backing sheet.

The fruils are another story. My boxing was not very well cast and had a lot of "flash" and other small errrors. Once you clean them up they go pretty fast together. And there are spares to put around the turrent and the glacis.

the PE clamps and thingies took a while to get together. And I think I need a pair of glasses now I glued everything with gel and extra thin CA

The cables were a option, but I didn't want this project to cost more than it did already so maybe next time. I'll try to make my own exhaust shrouds instead of buying more stuff

Got a question though: where to put the bucket, and where to place the antenna? I've got the right side hull placing and 2 other placings on the turret so which one would be correct?
