Lumpy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hi, All, finally after 2 weeks of fiddle faffing around with PB I think I got it. I would like to present a few pics of my recently completed tiger. This model sat partially built in the closet for about 17 years after our son joined the Air Force. Since my wife got me my first Airbrush and Compressor for last Christmas I decided to use it as a practice model. But the more I learned various techniques from this site and magazines the more I wanted to see it completed properly. Since I didn't do any real research it is not meant to show any specific unit, theater or genre. Anyway, I apologize for the picture quality and here it is. Thanks for looking, any advice, comments, critiques welcome Steve. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentG Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Fine looking piece of work sir, just grand. Always remember this, we as modelers strive for that perfect build, fit, finish, exact colors and smooth clearly defined camo. Yeah right, the real tank was painted in the dark, in a hurry, by a wee weed off private who hated the task. Look closely sometime to period photos of equipment on all sides. You'll see drips, runs, paint barely showing etcetcetc. Your Tiger is wonderfully done. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
