Finally finished my Tiger I. Tiger132, 501 S.PzAbt., 5th Panzer Army. Tebourba, Tunisia, Dec. 3, 1942. 132 was one of the first 3 Tigers landed in North Africa and was one of the first to engage western allied troops (Royal Hampshire Regt.) at Tebourba. (S.PzAbt 502 had engaged Soviet forces near Leningrad Aug. 19.) Kit is Dragon's Initial Production kit. Scheme is RAL 8000 / 7008. Storage bin , exhaust covers and rear fender edges were added after arriving in North Africa are painted RAL 8020.

Your Tiger looks brilliant. The finish(paint&pigment) are spot on.

Is this Tiger (132) the same tank that was on the Tamiya box art at one time?

They did an "initial Production" kit. 132 was not an option. www.scalemates.com/kits/133016-tamiya-35194-tiger-i
