Here are some pictures of my 1/48 Tamiya Tiger.
It as been about 4 months since i last built an armour model.This model is about 90% done,and the link Tracks are a pain to do as there link+length,and there just not on right as i always put my Tracks on last after i have painted and weathered them.not a bad little model but i do hope they make some indy Tracks soon.cheers

I thought Tamiya's idea of having a jig for the link & length as part of the sprue to be an ingenious idea. How did it work in practice? I ask since I have this kit in the "to do soon" pile.

I did not use it as my intenstion was to fit the Tracks after i had painted them.i carnt see the point in fixing the tracks before they are painted as you never get all the tracks with paint on.

Even though from the title I was expecting a Braille-scale cat, it looks good, no matter the scale, well done.
