Gratulation very well done! Only flaw: the outer fire extinguisher was NOT red, but in camouflage like the rest of the hull.

The whole thing is straight out of the box, no mods at all.
I'll repaint the outside extinguisher.
Thanks for the compliments guys!

What you need now Dave, is one of those strip tease sound tracks to play as you show the pictures of your Tiger stripping.
You done a mighty fine job, there is a lot of close corders there, and a tremendous amout of detail.

Nice Tiger!
How were the hull front to top piece above the tranny to vision block plate to hull roof joints?
Mine got shelved when I got to that point as I was having the devils own time getting these joints to sit flat/snug etc...
Also, unless it's my monitor on the fritz again, the interior color of the WWII German stuff is not the light green that Academy shows (that's more for modern US stuff) but should be an ivory white called Elfbein.
Still a very nice job on a kit with about a jillion parts. Great rusty look on the exhaust, what did you use?
And you've finished it!
Unlike most of my stash...

Mike, the joints were ok with a bit of jiggling around - the glacis is glued to the front plate so that they lift off as one. All the other opening parts had some scraping on the edges to improve the fit.I don't do much German stuff, and had no interior pics so just followd the kit as far as paintwork goes.
Dragonslain - the ammo is Tamiya matt black and gold acrylics
Spades - yep, that's all in the kit!
