Greetings from Barquisimeto, Venezuela!

Although I do not speak English very well because here I show my first Armored.
Hope you like it, remember the first.

Excellent Carlos, what kit?

I'd say you really nailed the track color. A difficult thing to do.....maybe they could use a little silver highlight color on the raised edges and the sprocket teeth.

BTW, what is the pink symbol on the left rear for? Unit symbol, can't remember seeing that one before.

Really cool tiger!

Hi Carlos,
That is one great looking Tiger ! The Zimm looks good, I like the camo job but the best thing is the "chipping" wear and tare. How did you do it ?
Thank you for sharing ! Tom

Hi Carlos! Realy nice cat you've got here. I like the Zimmerit effect a lot. Also as already stated I think you got the chipping/wear and tear on the metal very nicely indeed!

Hope to see more of your work soon!!!

Very nice piece of work Carlos! The Zimmerit is excellent - all your own work? A unit not very often modelled to boot.

The Pink Simbol is the Rune of s.SS Panzer Abteilung 102 "Das Reich"

Actually no real connection with "Das Reich", sSS Pz Abt 102 was the heavy battalion of II SS Pz Korps, 9th "Hohenstaufen" & 10th "Frundesburg" divisions, although "Das Reich" was part of the Korps in the Ardennes. This was the unit to which Willi Fey belonged.
