1/35 tamiya tiger B with porsche turret

[clearway]

My first real attempt at weathering 1/35 armour. Also upgraded with Eduard zimm and grilles and Tamiya seperate track links.

Hope you like my kitty!

Looking good, the tracks are especially good in my opinion. Nice work.

That looks fantastic in all respects. I really like the paint work.

The zimmerit looks very effective.

I have the kit and Eduard zimmerit myself.

How easy was it to apply over the tight curves like the front mg armour?

Ty all for the comments, daldroflas the zimm was interesting to apply lets put it that way and easily "creased" The mg covering was a pain- i used an old ball out of a comp mouse but it still doesn't look right to me. The paint is humbrol 83 matt ochre for the overall yellow with humbrol 133 red brown for the camo- after applying i used ak interactive wash for yellow vehicles then gave it a light coating of tamiya ts3 dark yellow to act as a filter. The tracks were painted humbrol 53 gun metal then a wash was applied mixing khaki, dark earth and rust all humbrol.

Thanks for the info Keith.

I have to admit that rolling the mg cover was one thing about the Eduard instructions that worried me a bit!

If plan A doesn't work out I might go with using some milliput for it instead of the PE.

You should be ok with the etch- it worried me too- maybe use a little milliput after applying the etch to the M.G.cover to hide the gaps.
