Hi, I am looking for tips on finding extra details for my Tiger I kit.
I have the metal tracks, but looking into possible zimmerit kits or tools, PE I am going with aber. Can anyone else offer any ideas for detailing and maybe links? thanks

I am going to assume that you have the Tamiya kit, so here goes.

Hobby Fan make an aluminum tank barrel. If you are going to get the Aber set, I assume you mean the superset? If so, that is really all you need with what is in the box to make a museum quality model of an early Tiger I. You could also get Hussars decals, and Tamiya makes really nice Kubelwagens and figures, and Dragon and Verlinden also make 120 mm figures and weapons that will go well with a big cat.

You mentioned zimmerit, please remember that the Tamiya kit is an early Tiger, and so zimmerit would be inappropriate unless you want to perform some major surgery.

Have fun,

Scott Gentry

Theres also this guy on ebay, although he is not selling anything currently, it may be worth emailing him.
