Hi Team,
finished it this morning
OOB build,apart from Tamiya grills,this is my 1st DML 3 in 1 build and will not be my last a dream of a kit to build,hope you like









Airbrushed with Vallejo air 052 German grey over Halfords primer,Revell #84 for the tracks.
Washed with a 70/30 turps,burnt sienna mix, finished with Mig pigs and pastles.
Mud was made from a mixture of Wickes solvent free "no more nails" , kids poster paint and static grass
The metal bits were picked out using a HB pencil
Thanks for looking
Any questions / comments welcome
Andy

Oh don't forget jonnysocko, aka Brian Hill for supplying the decals because I lost the originals
THANKS MATE your a star

Looks very good Andy. I thınk you should use ıt ın a diorama..

Are the tracks individual?

Thanks bud,
No room for dio's spare rooms full of models and Monopoly sets :-) :-)
as for the tracks,yes they are indies,the "magic tracks " that come with the kit
Andy

Looks great Andy. Now this is what should have been called the Elephant. With the double storage buckets on the side the Tiger looks more like an elephant than the real "Elephant".
Nice job on the dusting effect.

Very nice work Andy the dirty gray paint looks great as does the mud and grass on the tracks, nice weathering all around.

excellent build mate!

it really looks used and very, very dangerous

cheers

Hi Andy,

I know even less about Tigers than I do about Shermans (and I don't know much about them), but it looks like an excellent build. It's nice to see one in 'Grey' and the weathering looks just about right. Glad you didn't go for 'over kill'.

The side bins are a neat addition, are they part of the kit? What theatre of war did you model it to fit into?

Thanks for posting this and good luck.

Cheers

Super Andy. I like the "turret box EARS!" Thay always look funny to me. I beleive the jury is still out if the Germans put them there, or the Russians did after its capture - still great job!

Nice build Andy.

Many thanks for the feedback guys
AlanL.. The model represents one of the 1st Tigers to see service with sPzAbt 502 around Leningrad in late1942 early 1943, and yes the side bins are included in the kit.


Sticky..As soon as I opened the box and see those side bins,well, it had to be done,a break from the norm as they say.Thanks for the comments, you are a true master of the art,I look forward to seeing your builds every month.

This has rekindled my love of the Panzer grey finish, I can feel a Stug III coming on for the "Tank aces" campaign


Cheers
Andy
