I know everyone is tired of see Tigers but they are a great tank. This one is the Tamiya late production which came with metal tracks and metal barrel.

Looks clean and neat.
Maby too clean

Is that suspension part of the kit? Looks very cool.
And I like your camo. I hope to see further progress

Is that a weld line across the top of the turret roof? If so, plug up the outer hole for the gunner's telescope.

Nice build!

I agree way too clean. Also I would rub some graphite on the roadwheels where they contact the track, I don't think much of anything would stay there very long!

Good work so far!

... a nice neat (not clean! ) build rhenders.... great job on the subtle weathering and faded camo. the fig looks good too. good job overall

comments: as liberator mentioned, the roadwheels should lie flat and level on the tracks. also the antenna is crooked (err..shouldn't it be painted black?)

I know the road wheels aren't touching the ground that is because i plan on putting it in a dio where it will be going over terrian. I guess i did not know that the atennas where black. In this model i was going for the not so weathered look. These pictures really dont do the paint that good of justice. It is dirtier then it looks. Thanks for all the tips keep them coming.
