nicely built how did you paint the exhausts that way.

which manufacturer comes that tiger from.
I heard the one from academy is very good because there is a full interior in it.

DON'T USE TAMIYA'S FLAT BASE!!!!!! This is not a flat coat but is used to add to gloss colors to make them flat ...If you spray this on your tank it will turn everything white! I know I did it once..Sorry for yelling but wouldn't want you to ruin a nice tiger .. Nice fadeed look to the camo ...the exhausts look good ..(I'd blacken them a bit around the top)
Don't forget to paint the commander hatch pad .
The last thing I noticed is the smoke candle holders on the turret sides..They seem to be on either upside down or backwards ,but that can be easily fixed ..Great job Karl ...I've noticed a big improvement on your kits ..Keep up the good work.

There is none as i have left them off ,i just added the brackets.thanks for all your kind words.The kit is an academy but the road wheels are from a tamiya kit,as the wheels from academy kit are rubbish.cheers

Hi Karl I meant the brackets themselves might and I just mean might be backwards they just don't seem to be at the right angle...Could be me getting this backwards too so you could very well be right . I'm starting work on an Initial tiger right now so I'm starting to gather up info on them ..Haven't done anything German in a long time !!! Keep up the good work.

Hey Tigeriv. Weren't you the axis guy I was joking with about you building a Shermie and me building a Tiger? I still don't have my Tiger done but I finally hunted down a pair of Tiger Fruils. I will probably assemble the tracks this weekend and see about getting them painted and rusted.

It took me a long time to find Fruils until Bear directed me to one of his contacts in Canada. I got them shipped for less money that I could have purchased them at my LHS. I will get on those tracks this week. It's the last thing
