Tamiya Tiger 1 Ausf E Late. Model has been in my collection for some time but with the recent Dragon kits I decided to build this one first. Additions include Cav Zimmerit, Eduard etch, barrel and Model Kasten tracks. Tamiya paints and oil washes along with pigments to give it a nice dusty look.









Additional images available for viewing in my gallery under the Tiger 1 folder.

sweeeeet!!! my favorite Tiger scheme. This is a beaut you have sir. Nice camo, weathering, very well done. I do have one nitpick, which, is really Tamiyas faut. This is one of the older issues Im assuming. The Knight on the right side of the turret should be facing forward. They issued the decals wrong back then. The later releases corrected it. But no worries. Its still a very fine model. Just wanted to point that out for next time maybe

A very high standard of craftsmanship and attention to detail in all areas.
While the quality of the pics are top class. I'm sure they don't do full justice to the tank if it was viewed in the "flesh" so to speak.
