Hi Boris!

Nice job man! I love this little truck.

BTW, I found out that Rio's PD has one of these.

Cheers!

Marco, did you resolve the problem with your Tigr? and BOPE of Rio only tested you of it for 3 or 4 months.
I have photos of it if you want.

Hi! very nice paint job!

Important issue for all building Tiger:
If you make vehicle with "Pelena" jamming device (antennas), you need to make wiring for them. But also you need make open windows, becouse all wirings go inside through windows

Cool kit! Nice build!!

Why camo on the inside? A style thing? Is the bodywork reversible?

Nice, just checked i

I painted the camo by hand... I hate masking all that stuff, and after weathering it looks great.

You mention that you used Vallejo paints. Right now I am working on the Tiger and I have problems when airbrushing the first coat of Vallejo Primer on the kit. It does not adhere good. There are places where the paint simply flows away and then forms bubbles a couple millimeters further. Anyone else who had this problem? Solution? Sprues were cleaned with dishes detergent and rinsed with water before paint was applied, so residues of products used to get the sprues out of the malls should be gone.

Sorry to hear that. I used Alcad II Lacquer Grey Primer and Filler, so did not experience your problem. After priming I did use vallejo colors without any problems....

Maybe someone else can help you out?
