Hi guys,

Here are three pics of my recently finished "Tiger I Initial production".
I built it OOB, but with all specifications of SpzAbt.501.
In the beginning i thought to built it as a tiger of SpzAbt 504 and give a link to Bowington museum's "131" restoration day by day, but i've changed my mind, because i wouldn't show the headlamps, and side numbers etc..anyway..

Waiting for your comments

Well done. I like everything about this piece. The weathering and finished came out great. I have only one question. Is the solid yellow correct? I am no expert on German armor but I thought the yellow was a base color for camo. I could very well be wrong, like I said I am no expert. If I am than I am sorry, because the piece looks great.

Outstanding, an excellent representation of a much feared weapon. How did you simulate the chipped paint and the finish on the tools?

Thank you again Tazz and MajorNumpty :-)

Well MajorNumpty, the chipped paint is a mix of Humbrol 67 & 53, and the weathering on the tools is a mix of humbrol 53 - 56 and normal pencil dust. #4 HB
