Nice work! Were there any specific problems in the kit?

Very nice looking Tiger. You did a fantastic job on the paint and weathering. I really enjoy the little touch with what looks like a german rations box. Was the zimmerit kit provided or some after market you used?

Hello Muzaffer, your overall impression given is of a very well built and painted tiger!! Absolutely spot on, I agree completely with the comments about the fuel stains and the weathering. A very good build.

Do you have plans for this Tiger to be coming up out of a ditch at a roadside by chance, or ripping down a hillside on the steppes somewhere with the big 88 coming to bear on an unsuspecting T-34?

Great job again. Two thumbs way up!

Fantastic build buddy, love the combo of the dry and wet mud on the wheels
Spotted a couple things that could be done to make it perfect
The first one isnt your fault though really and its down to dragons still incorrect instructions - the spare antenna storage tube on the rear right hull egde - you've used the spare track retaining bar. Cant remember off the top of my head but the one you want is on the C sprue, wheres the part youve used is off the K one. Common to see guys do this.
Secondly the other thing is that gun travel lock's chain needs swapping 180 degrees as its on the wrong way round. The pin goes to the outside.
Third is the missing rear right mudflap. The two indentations need filling below the hinge and the hinge itself needs some of the barrels removing, as in the ones that would be on the fender, only the three with the square tabs above them should remain on the hull. Easy with a fresh scalpel then a bit of mud colour so you dont have to repaint/colour match.
Lastly the rear convoy light tube is absent (assume its battle damage?)

Only a few small things mate but again a really nice build and paint.

Done a couple of these new zim mid tigers myself just wanting for paint when i get the chance....

Tony, where do you get this "pin to the outside" concept? I've never seen it like that.

That said, there are a couple of problems with the build in this area.
The outer arm is installed back to front. As a result, the cradle has a lopsided shape.
The chain isn't inserted properly into the inner arm. The entire chain handle (the straight part) should be outside the cradle.

[quoteThanks Tony. I'll research this, and try to fix the flaws. By the way the raar convoy light tube and the front light is missing intentionally

Amazing work on the oil and grease stains. I hope one day my weathering and finishing is 1/4 as good as that
