Hi All,

I had put some more work into the tiger, now it's starting to look like a tank now, any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dave,

The Tiger looks really awesome... I really like the early model Tigers... can't wait to see the final version.

Later,
Tim

dave,

From the bottom of my heart: It looks fabulous and I am lucky that I may see it in person.

Steve

Branden

while I do softskins that looks very, very nice. Well done. I notice the tools look like brass. Is this a seperate set you can buy or part of the detail kit for tigers?

Cliff (I'm still a driver) :-)

That looks great, What PE set are you using ?
Good Job !!

Nice work!

It's always nice to see the before pictures. It helps you understand how to get to the finish line.

Thank you guys for your nice comments. I will keep more pictures coming, hope you won't get bored of these.... #:-)

Anyway, for those want to know, it's the Aber full upgrade kit I am using (35K01), it comes with the PEs, gun barrel, cables of various size, and brass tubings, etc. It's a very nice upgrade set, and is highly recommend to anyone want to dress up their Tigers....And we all know how much we love the Tigers..... #:-)

Wow very nice indeed...You really do a nice job on the PE...can,t wait to see it painted ...Are you planning to do it as a Das Reich tiger at Kursk? Keep up the good work !

Richard

Hi Bear, thanks for your comments, hey, How did you guessed that I play to make the Das Reich Tiger at the Kursk, it will be the S33, with the disginguishable impact mark on the front glacis...Or have I mentioned it before??? #:-)

Nice work. Well built. I personally love to use aftermarket parts for building so your model gets my full approval.
This is a model at it's most interesting, when you can see all of the aftermarket details before painting.

Congratulations

Andrew

Hi Dave I think you mentioned it before that you wanted to do a banged up Das Reich tiger ,but even if you hadn't I think they are the coolest tigers with the ghome on the turret side ..I have been planning on doing S13 but I'm having a hard time deciding how to paint it. I have all kinds of books and none say the same as the other ..The New Vanguard says it might be grey and green or grey and yellow ....Tigers in Combat say they were three colour camo,but the painting in the colour prints have them as grey and redbrown...And last but not least in Tigers on the eaastern front they have it as yellow and redbrown ...Not to mention the tamiya instructions say yellow and green. What to do what to do?????What ever you do it will be great I,m sure..can't wait to see it .

Richard #:-)

I love seeing great work without paint. It gives folks like me an look at how you guys create such outstanding kits. Keep it coming!

I am happy to announce that I finally finish the construction of the hull, had attached the last piece of the side skirt at precisely 0223 this morning...and Primed it, so hopefully, this thing can get painted by next weekend....more pictures will follow. And again, Thank you guys for all the encouragement I had received for this project. Without all you guys, I probably be still making snap-tite kits....

And Bear my friend, you are definitely correct, 2SS Tiger does looked the coolest, the imp, the Chinese character. I plan to paint it just green and yellow as on the Tamiya boxart, I think it looked nice....

Is that full upgrade kit for a Tamiya kit? If so, which one. Your work looks great and inspires me to make additional attempts at PE (0 for 2 so far). I want to build one of Michael Wittman's Tigers. I'm currently researching his vehicles to determine markings. It would be nice if someone made one of his Tigers as a kit.

Did you purchase that kit from a US vendor? If so, which one.

Keep up the great work, I'm anxious to see the finished product.

SgtSauer,

Thank you for liking this Tiger. The upgrade set is from Aber, 35K01, the full upgrade set for tiger I early. (Tamiya)

You can get the Tiger I early from tamiya, there is a version you can make is Michael's tank, with all the kill marks and things.

Wow looks so real it makes me want to go out and grab a PIAT and sneak up behind it...



Keep up the great work!

Hi Dave:

Really a very good work, I love the works with photoetched. :-) Your Tiger looks excellent. I would like to see the Tiger finished.

(:-) Regards,
Rodolfo

Lookin pretty good Dave

Rob

Guys, thank you for the comment, I had put on the Dark yellow on the chasis in the weekend, and shoul dhave more pictures in the next few days... So glad that I am finally at the wrap up stage of this tank...

Dave,

Well the wait has been worth it! That Tiger is a beauty. For only having started using PE a couple of months ago, you certainly have done a fine job! :-)

Adam, thank you for your kind words, my work have been largely inspired by your nice work to say the least.

And I will put more pictures tonight if I got the time.
