Those look pretty good Tim, thanks for sharing. Are the camo stripes brushpainted? As for constructive comments, all I can say is that on the grey early Tiger it appears that both of the tow cables are floating off the engine deck surface at the point where they curve and there looks to be a attachment hole left unfilled for one of the absent fenders. Other then that good job and thanks again for sharing. What's next on your workbench?

Tim,
You should be very pleased with these models specially with them being your first, I also suggest you do a bit of weathering on the tracks of both tanks.

For your first two models you've done a nice job.
Couple of things I see, the tow cables have seam lines in them, try to get rid of those next time, just use some sandpaper or the back of a #11 blade.
The ETO's left track seams to hover over the road wheels in front (it may be the picture).
I don't know if there would be a hole from the fenders in the back left of the ETO, same with the back left. Just fill with a bit of putty and sand them down.
For your first two cats they're quite nice. Can't wait to see the next one.

Couple thoughts. In both models. you've "lost" fenders. That's good. I'd have made the yellow based one more interesting by not having zimmerit or camo stripes where the fender was lost. On the grey one, again, you've "lost" a fender, but there's an insignia there. That breaks up the effect of the fender having fallen off and wheile I do have references of a cross on both the turret and the hull, the hull one would not have been transected by the fender. You might want to consider removing it or at least carefully cutting a line where the top of the fender was and removing the bottom half.

Excellent job for your first two kits Tim!! I really like the Zimmerit... I've yet conjure up the guts to attempt hand Zimmerit, so hats of to you on an excellent job your first try!...
