AgentG Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Some serious health issues have kept me off the net for a bit, though I have been building. This is the Rye Fields Model "Tunisian Tiger". I built this to replicate Tiger #142 from sPzAbt 501. Mostly straight from the box using Mission Models paint for the first time. I like the paint. Tamiya tank commander with a modified arm to better fit the RFM hatch. I used medical gauze as a camo net. I believe I got pretty close. #142 met her end at the hand of US Army engineers who blew her to smithereens with copious amounts of TNT. This was documented in color by Life Magazine photographers. Here you can see the Dk Gray Feifels and the RAL 8020 tool box. The end. G 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentG Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thank you all! PlaStix I';m taking it day by day. Doctors thought I was having a heart attack. It was a pulmonary embolism, not the ticker thank goodness. I've lost 37 pounds by choice and am eating healthy again. Hasn't kept me from the bench, although I just haven't been online that much.

Bullbasket Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Nice looking Tiger and ditto on the crew member. If only the US engineers had known then how much it would be worth in the future!!! Keep sniffing the MEK. Nothing like it to get you back on your feet again. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'd say you've pretty much nailed it there. Glad you're on the mend. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
