The AFV Club late Tiger, representing tactical # 312 Pz Abltng 505 April '44 eastern front.
Built OOB except for Fruilmodel track, and Archer transfers. I added the rear deck travel lock and removed "pilsen" from the turret roof.

Zimmerit was done with a soldering gun.

Hi, Excellent work on a very nice kit. Very good job on the Zimmerit too. Personally I'm too big of a chicken to try this myself, so am waiting on Cavalier's Zimmerit to come. Great paint job too. Congratulations on a job well done!


Take care, Sgirty

Truly excellent piece of work, thanks for sharing with us. Sadly, we're NOT seeing as much of this kit as we should be... I assume you used the kit tracks - they're looking good.. Thanks again for that..Jim

The turret looks still a bit glossy...maybe you could still give it a flat wash or coat. Overall it looks very good, and nice touch on the tree trunk...

Cheers
