I've finally got Lower hull, Upper low, and Turret done. Base coat is on and ready to start painting. Tracks to do, then on to painting Crew, detailing and finally weathering. If all goes smoothly, I'm hoping on getting a Tamiya Jagdpanther (Late) done for Big Cats V also.

My Tiger is finally complete. I'm not much into weathering, but did give it a little African Dust.

Just a quick update on the Meng King Tiger build. The rest of the engine deck is built just not in the photos. Build has been slower than hoped due to real life but it is coming along. I am in the process of building an air brush booth in a spare bedroom because it's just getting too darn cold in the garage. Hopefully that will be complete in the next few days. I need to do a bit of spraying before I can put together the sub assemblies. Keep up the good work.

Nice paintwork though I hate to see a Tiger with holes that go all the way through.

Colin, that is a great looking KT!
For this campaign I will be building the 1/35 Girls und Panzer Tiger I. I purchased this kit at a very discounted price from the Dragon website some time ago. This kit was originally released in 2013, and is based on the Cyber Hobby Tiger I Early Production LSSAH, Operation Citadel, July 1943. The instructions are completely in Japanese and feature caricatures from the Girls und Panzer series. Ive already built a few Dragon Tigers, so despite the language barrier, I doubt there will be any issues following the instructions. I will be using some decals from my stash to mark this as Otto's Tiger I #213.

Shawn,
The directions look like normal Dragon Tiger directions. I would have been nice if there were some girl figures to go with it.

Beautiful cats coming along here, really like the camo Colin.
Looking through the stash I find choices, choices
The Academy may go in the 500+ campaign, so for here:
though it'll be the three-tone Normandy scheme and not Anneliese (no direct comparisons ).

Shawn, I find the whole Girls Und Panzer concept to be absurd and fascinating. That's still a good base kit and should build up nice.
