Never in the field of scale modelling was so much owed by so many to so few.

I'm thinking this is an October 1944 version Tiger II? Why did the crew paint it after the front schurzen was already lost?
In Germany military discipline is extreme. The paint job is perfect "by the book" in 1/3's just like it would be under direction - I'm just pointing out that it looks like the camo was painted after the tank lost the front schurzen. Not likely before it hit combat

just finished doing the camo and i have given it a couple of coats of testors dull-cote ready for the decals.
Looks great so far. Just one question - do you plan to apply decal on top of Testors dull-cote?... Generally it is not a good idea to put decals on matt finish. It would be better to put some gloss cote first, then decals and dull-cote on top.

Is this OOB or did you add PE or other aftermarket stuff to it? I think you are going to regret having the schurtzen installed when you start mounting the road wheels and track....I know I tried the same thing you did a while back with my Tamiya version and using individual links was a wee bit challenging
