Don't worry about the gloss. For washes (and decals) you want the surface to be glossy. I'd probably give it a gloss coat anyways. You can give it a flat coat later.

Lovely paint job, lovely coat of zimmerit. Yet again I am jealous of someone else's modelling skills.

Very nice! The Zimmerit looks like it grew there. Is that Cavalier again?

Nice camo scheme and zimm. Just curious, should he inside of the hatch have the same color as the base coat or should it be white?

Good looking kitty,Karl.If it's glossy now,then the markings and decals should go on now so they get weathered evenly with the rest of the tank.Great zim!
cheers!

I would leave those hatches in the exterior base, just as they are now. But the driver's periscope should be dark brown.

Excellent job Karl! Love the Zimmerit. The inside of the hatches were often in the base colour, but they were often in Ivory white as well to help with internal light, so either is correct.

Hi Karl, i have to say thats a very good looking Tiger.
The green XF-26 gives directly another look on the tank , while most people are using XF-61. We'll done.
