A friend in work asked if i could build him a tiger,so i had a Tamiya dak tiger in my stash.so i thought id throw it together and give it a lick of paint.

heres the results.







i think the colour may be a little too dark,but i dont mind.

the things wrong on this kit are tow cables being the wrong way and no rear spare track holders.apart from that it a good kit to build

cheers

I think it looks great Karl. And I certainly would not have noticed anuthing wrong with the cables.
Hope your mate is pleased with it.
Cheers

Karl,

Nice job on the Tiger. I agree with you on the color being too dark, but if you get a discussion going on the proper color of DAK Tigers you are asking for trouble.

Anyway, are you sure about the cables? My research shows 501rst Tigers with the cables the way you have them, and also some reversed as you mentioned.

Nice work again,

Very good work Karl!

As to the colour? Yeah it is a little dark, but i do not think it detracts from the tank....looks good mate

Nice tiger you have there, perhaps some figures and some dust here and there? By the way: you remind me that I HAVE to do a DAK tiger to, love it! Need some time though........
great job!

Looks great Karl,little dark as you say but still a nice looking Tiger.
Those Tamiya Tigers are so much fun to build,no hassles just a nice build.
