Good stuff, my friend. Like the way you do the tow cables, will try that on my current Tiger project. Always nice to see an LAH Tiger. I am doing a "Das Reich" tiger now.

Looking real good Otto!
It´s sort of refreshing to see a Tiger that is pretty clean! Meaning, NICE weathering...must be more difficult to weather a tank just slightly than cover it with all possible s**t!

That is nice looking! I wish mine had turned out that good. I'm considering revisiting mine to do some touch-up work to make it look better. Yours looks great though. Love the discoloration around the exhausts.

Thanks you for all your kind words!!!!! If you have any questions about any of the techniques that I used to make it I will be more than happy to help if I can!!! I made the tow cables out if very small diameter craft wire (3 seperate strands--- chucked in a drill and spun until I has the right twist on it so it looked like cable) Thanks again........Otto

For the base coat I covered the entire model with :
3 parts Tamiya red brown XF-64 mixed with 1 part Tamiya flat black XF-1
For the tank color I used polly scale acrylic Panzer dark yellow F50511
Leader,
I highlited the tank color with Tamiya dark yellow XF-60 which is just a little bit lighter than the polly scale panzer dark yellow mentioned above.
All the above colors were thinned and shot through my airbrush.
After sufficient drying times between ALL coats, I weathered the Tiger with oils ( raw umber and burnt umber)
hope this helps......Otto
