Jon,
That old Tamiya Tiger is looking great. I congratulate you on all the PE; it really stands out even after paint, I know I don't have the patients to work with that much PE. I enjoy building, but not working with PE. Looking forward to seeing more.
Mike,
Great paint job. Very cool green circles on the white stripes.

Thanks Kevin.
I have coated with AK chipping fluid and then gave a bit of green camo, distressed with a stiff brush. This will form the base for all the weathering.

Turret weathering almost complete. AK OIF streaking grime was used for, well, streaking, but also for a subtle wash. Next is the next decal number - the newest one. Then all steps to be repeated on the hull!

Nice tiger!
What did you use for the grey chipping?

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

Thanks Mike
Grey chipping is Tamiya Dark Grey, applied with a fine brush and then also with a sponge.

Jon: Your Tiger looks great!
I got some more work done, before I tore my rotator cuff. Just have to finish the lower hull. Looks like I will be done, by Friday.

Unfortunately, my ab is out of action. I very seriously doubt that I will receive the replacement part, before the end of the campaign.

These are in the gallery also.
Great Campaign!
