Again, nice job Crockett. The Zimerits' well done, and the tracks look good. Are they the kit tracks?

Thanks for all the feedback... The track is Fruillissimo, and since my reference photos showed no spare track, I'll consider this one finished. I'll wait for the DML release to really go all out. This model was really a test bed for my hand applied zim techniques, (my first try with milli putty).

Thanks again....Steve

First of all Crocket, good job. However, is that a waffle pattern zimmerite on the tank? I could be wrong, but I don't think Tigers had this pattern applied to them. I've seen it on Stug's and Panthers, but don't recall ever seeing it on a late Tiger I.

don't know about the waffle pattern thing, I know it wasn't intentionally "waffled". I just applied the milli putty and went to town with the Tamiya zim tool, what you see is what you get......
