Looking good mate I like the weathering on the paint job what paints did you use and is it an oil/enamel wash? only thing I'd say is tone down the tracks a little and drybrush the rasied cleats abit so which kit is it Tamiya/italeri ? so will you be adding any figs to it? maybe also think about adding some soot and drybrushing some extra rust colours to the exhgust stacks. look forward to seeing it finished

I used Tamiya acrylics, with a wash from oils. I also used some pigments which are very realistic. Indeed the tracks need to be toned down and i will drybrush the raised details. It's Academy's kit with Eduard PE and Friul tracks. Thanks for the comments.

hi looks nice! I thing you have to add more weathering! What to you think to add dammage or more rust on the chassis? what do you think to add a crew member? cheers
Very well done so far ...You have done some excellent work back dating your Academy kit... Painting looks good (well faded)as does the rust on the tracks and exhaust...I'd tone down the exhaust with some black pastels on the top to show soot....Your numbers are hand painted right ? The last zero looks kind of off ....I know I shouldn't pick but ...A trick I used once was to find a number the right size on a decal sheet and just painted the inside of the number with grey paint ...You might also notice the brackets on the other side of the turret for another turret basket...(probably torn off in combat) might want to add them .. You have done an awesome job buddy, your talent for scratch building is great ...keep up the good work pal..

Wow, I like this alot. A stripped down, lean and mean, very early Tiger from sPz Abt 502 ! Very good work, very origainal, and I wouldn't change much. Maybe a little bare metal in the tracks (guide teeth and ground contact). A little soot on muffler ?
Excellent work !! Keep up the good work !
Cheers !!!

you have done an excellent job in there and the results shows it. as said id tone down the tracks that make remarkeble colour difference with the rest of the vehicle.and maybe more weathering in the lower parts (dusting - mudding )
Always look at the bright side of life.....with sun glasses !!!!
