Very, very nice Karl. Decals look immaculate and the dust looks great. I noticed you had a go at denting the exhaust shrouds and skirts. You'll be replacing them with homemade foil ones next.....you'll find the difference staggering!

Hey Karl,
Excellent weathering job! Really like the effect you've achieved on the roadwheels.
Small nitpick. In you're 2nd and 3rd photos, the crewman's uniform looks a bit glossy.
You've accomplished a look I'm still hoping to achieve, but as of now have failed to do .
It's a real inspiration for me. I'd go

Excellent work on your Tiger I ! I agree the weathering looks very good.
I think some bare metal on the tracks where they have been in contact with the cobblestones would be a good idea.
Other then that, you have done a fine job !
Cheers !!

Karl,
great paint job and weathering. I especially like how the roadwheels turned out.

Karl,
Maybe you can improve the look of the tracks with a touch of MM steel. If it looks too bright, perhaps you could tone it down by mixing some black with it.
