This is my lastest completed project. A early production Tiger I from Dragon. The turret has a Verlinden interior. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Nice Terry, real nice ! Restrained chipping, nice rust. Too bad you can't see much of the interior. But if it looks as good as the the outside then you have something to be proud of !

What a beautiful cat you have! I enjoy weathering, but am starting to lean back to cleaner builds. You really have pulled this one off marvelously. The only thing I notice is that the mantlet appears to be crooked.

Thanks Tom!

Here is a picture before the turret was sealed. I just wanted to show enough detail as could be seen through the hatches.

Really I never noticed that. Must be an optical illusion.

Thanks!

Some of that may be my camera, however I did apply a oil wash of olive green and cadium yellow early on over the dark yellow base coat.
