OK, Here's my rendition of Tamiya's Tiger I Late. Eduard PE zimmerit, and 2 sets of Aber PE with Modelkasten track links.

I'm working on the crew for the final finish, so hopefully I'll be able to enter this in January's MOM.

Thanks to all here who suggested improvements and provided tips or info. I'm pleased with it, although, as ever, there are some things I'd change if I could (but I'm not telling you what they are!!)

Anyway, hope you like it.

Sean

looks good sean... nice painting & weathering...!

btw, near the front of the tank, are the tow cables supposed to 'loop'? shouldn't they be laid down close to the hull? ... and the zimmerit looks too 'neat' but i guess that's how PE zimm looks like... some chipped/damaged areas on the zimm will make it look more realistic.

Thanks for all the comments guys: I'm hoping I'll get my first vote in MOM with this

MoJimbo, every time I've posted a pic of this somebody has asked about the tow cables! :-) :-)

I've a few reference pics of this, here's one:
