Some of you may have seen this model before. Some time ago I bought and built the Academy Tiger I early. A very cool kit, because it comes with an full interior, PE engine grills, no fitting problems and good instructions. What else do you need?
Well, an airbrush is handy. I didn't had one at that time and handpainted it......looked like this:
Hand painted camouflage clearly sucks in this case....also no weathering, shiny decals.....
Btw, this is all built before I became an forum-active armorama member lol, guess I learned something here....cause now it looks like this:
Still some things I've got to do.....on the list are:
- rainmarks / maybe little bit of dust
- work a bit on the mud, not satisfied with the results.....(first attempt doing this with pastels)
- give the end of barrel and exhaust area a bit black
Still I think I've improved my old Tiger a lot already lol....
Before I forget, this is my first time I spray a free-hand camouflage scheme. The only camouflage scheme I done before was on my KT but that was a hard-edge one so that's a whole different story....
What do ya all think?
