Hi dear friends,

My model is Trumpeter 1/72 scale Sturmtiger .It's for Tiger Campaign



I started on 31 July 2011 and build in our local forum model Izmir http://www.modelizmir.com/forum/index.php?topic=2654.0

vinyl track are not good, I don't like to deal with them. But I love modeling

Stages of construction for a few photos :





After the first coat of paint. Vallejo green ochre (tamiya XF-59, Hu 94)






I began to camouflage. The model is waiting in this way.

Very nice progress, Erhan. I know what you mean when you speak of how bad the vinyl tracks are. I wish that us small scale builders had some alternative to them. Thanks for keeping the idea of Braille scale prominent with threads like this.

Cheers,
Jan

I like the camo, even though I am an ab man. I've seen some indi tracks for 1/72, but they are few and far between. I'm confused.
You said your first coat of paint is green ochre? Did you not take a picture of it in that color?
Now that I have a demand, I'm getting back into braile scale. My works go out with no publicity, but they are for children who I hope will have enough desire to start into the hobby. From your thread, I may have to invest in a sturmtiger.

Hello All ,

Jan @ so you're right. Many new kits now is not used vinyl. (airfix, trumpeter) But we can not throw trash stocks. But no vinyl yes other (plastic, PE, resin)

Matt @ green ochre and Brown yellow with the same...Main color of the my sturmtiger

I continued to Sturmtiger, small progress...No references were related to camouflage, There are only pictures on the cover box.

Looks good, paint job looks spot on, as I think only eleven were made and all had this sort of ambush scheme......

The paint looks very interesting!
Looking forward to see what´s next!

Cheers!

Hi Erhntly

When painted up the tracks will look OK.

And at the end all attention will be on the eye catching paint scheme.

There are wartime pictures of at least one Sturmtiger painted with a very similar design and pattern to the one you chose.

I will be looking out for your next update

cheers
Neil

Hi dear friends, thank you for nice the nice critics.

need to wait some time for the new update. My workbench is too full. a wiev from through Sunday

Best regards.

Hi dear friends,

My little sturmtiger completed. Here is some photos, other photos in my blog http://miniafv.blogspot.com/2011/10/trumpeter-172-sturmtiger-erhan-atalay.html

Regards

Very nice job on this particularly ugly monster. I don't know why but I particularly like the way your tow cable on the superstructure turned out. The tracks do seem a bit too shiny and clean though. Then again, it could just be the picture. Thanks for sharing another fine build with us.

On a different note, your work area looks about as bad as mine. I have five newer builds waiting to be finished but also half a dozen rebuilds in progress.

Cheers,
Jan

Very nice job, Erhan. Great looking Sturmtiger and the camouflage is spot on, as already pointed out by others.

Thanks for sharing

I REALLY like this! Being a Sturmy fan I appreciate those that take the beast on, especially in THIS scale!

You guys do some awesome work with the smaller kits and to top if all off your ambush paint scheme looks GREAT!!

Hello Erhntly

Nice finish on the Sturmtiger, very faithfully represented to the camouflage pattern seen on at least one example.

You seem to have a veritable production line of models in the background - I'm looking forward to seeing some of those posted here too

cheers
Neil

Nice CAMO and weathering.
I have the same model but the upper hull is metallic and I don't like to work with this models. Is your model so?

Regards.

Pedro.

Hi dear friends,

Jesper and Jeff @Thank you for your interest my small tiger. Your feedbacks is important for the next my models (it's my first tiger. And I like it. I have more than 3 boxes. early-mid-late )

Jan @ You're right about the tow cable. I'll correct. Also I would like to visit your the work area.

Nlyall @ You will see them all Thank you for your interest.

Pedro @ All of plastic parts.What is the brand of yours of the model?

cheers..

Hi Erhan. Nice work! Your camo job looks great.
Cheers,
Tim

Hello Tim and thank you.
Your models even more beautiful...

@erhntly – Erhan,

You sure work fast! Another nice piece you put together with an interesting camouflage scheme that you beautifully reproduced. I have had some experience with the Trumpeter vinyl tracks. I recently used them on my last build the only issue I had was some light paint chipping that I had to touch up.

Anyhow, thanks for posting and sharing another one of your builds. Visited your blogspot . . . Great!

Happy Modeling,
~ Eddy

Sorry Erhan, I forgotten. I have the model of Dragon.

Regards.

Pedro.

Hi dear friends,

@ Eddy, thank you for visited my blog. Modeling is not common in my country. (Perhaps related to level of income.) Profiles of the modelers : all scale aircraft modelling and 1/35 scale AFV . We have a few friends, united in a Braille scale AFV:) This blog has occurred.

@ Pedro, I wondered Dragon Sturmtiger, I will examine.

Erhan..
