I am just about finished with my Dragon Early kit, which is supposed to represent Tiger 3/14/113 from Pz.Abt.502. I need to add the exhaust, outer road wheels, periscopes and pose the hatches open (and add handle to the commander hatch.) Also, I noticed I forgot to sand off the raised panel lines on the turret used to locate the spare track hangers. Other than that, I am looking for input, suggestions, missing or incorrect items, etc. before I paint it. Thanks!

Best I can tell is Panzergrau base with irregular overspray of dunkelgelb and dunkelgrun. I figure I'll paint the basecoat and give that some washes, filters, etc and then lightly add the other two camo colors overtop.

Nice build Jason; this will be my next Tiger build, once I have finished Tiger 323 (the swirly one). I'm interested to see how you interpret the camouflage.

Thanks. I ran into an issue with my airbrush, so I ended up getting a new one. Hopefully get a chance to paint this weekend.
