For now something without a crane
Its Academy`s Tiger Late with Attak zimmerit and Aber engine screens.
The rest is scratchbuild, and there must some small things added before painting.
And I must replaced the tracks

Nice Tiger , I don't know about replacing the tracks do you want to put some sag in them ?There are a few ways to do this with out changing the tracks . You can use wire or string to tie them down to the arms or glue them to the top of the road wheels . I like the way the large tow cables are posed , the chiped zimmerit and the dammaged fenders gives it a used look . Good work , been a while since i have worked on a tiger i wish mine looked this good .

Thank you guys,
Yes those tracks I still thinking of replaced them with the single tracks from Academy, the standart tracks are a litle stif for making a nice sack in the tracks.
About the finnishing tough, I doint know how I go to paint this kitty

I think that it looks great the way it is - no need to paint that beauty :-)
About the only thing I can see to suggest would be to straighten the Notek light on the front. The slit in the lamp should be parallel to the ground. That's all I could find - kind of a nit pick, but you really have done a super job on this kit.... Very clean, excellent build!
I look foreward to seing it painted!

Nice one Ronald. Everything is looking good! If it is possible to to glue the tracks down and they hold ...... they look OK to me. The detail looks to be fairly crisp.
I like your chipped zimmerit ....... what did you think of the attak stuff? A friend of mines reckons they are brilliant!
Nice touches with the exhaust cover etc! looks nice. I agree about the notek light .... the tank looks a little battered up so the light being a little of centre doesnt look too bad. With proper weathering it will look perfect!

Hey Plasticbattle, the Attack zimmerit is verry good and the price is nice.
About the fit of the Atak set I think ita good, I can say it for sure because the Attak set was for theTamiya Tiger an I used it with a little work on a Academy Tiger whitout any problem.

Ron,
Very nice Tiger you got there. I hadn't tried the Atek stuff yet, are they easy to use? I have a couple sheets at home, what you use to glue them to the model?
I like how the tow cable comes out, Tow cables give me the biggest headache comes to armor modeling, and the scratch build towcable and gun cleaning rods and its brackets are very nice too.
I too noticed the Notek Lamp, but as Plastic had mentioned, if the tiger is battered, then it shouldn't be too much a problem, the notek is a screwed on anyway, right?

Hi Dave the zimmerit is in this way attach to the model verry simple.
First with a verry thin plastic glue soften the plastig of youre model then when its tsil dry attach the zimmerit and let it dry.
When dry I have super gleu the edges of the zimmerit, and and worked verry well for me.

Nice looking Tiger, Ron!
what size wire did you use for the tow cable?
I like the bent fender and zimmerant job as well.

Hi Bob, I used four wires of 0,4 mm thick for the cables.
hope this helps.
