Hello guys, thank you very much! Looking forward to painting. -
Hello everyone.👋 Trumpeter's late version Tiger I in 1/35 scale is ready to be primed. I can only recommend this kit. For reasonable money it offers a lot of details including zimmerit which is easy to work with because it is made of thin plastic sheets. Its perfect regularity and thickness are targets of criticism, but I chose the kit precisely because of it (really easy to work with). Figures are from HobbyBoss. The loader and commander have aftermarket heads from Alpine Miniatures (faithful copies from AliExpress 💶). : Some inspiration:

I built this model in year 2009 when I was 15 years old. The kit is Tamiya's 35190 U.S. Medium Tank M4 Sherman Early Production with some Eduard PE detail parts. I have used Tamiya acrylic and enamel paints. I remember that it was one the most fun built at that time, I really enjoyed the easy fit of the kit and painting the figures which are greatly detailed.

Hello Max, thanks a lot! When it comes to the paint job, I can share what I used: An Airbrush set I got from wish.com, humbrol enamel paints, tamiya varnishes and a wash from AK interactive. I also tried acrylic pencils from AK Interactive for final touches and I am very happy with the result. 👍

Hello Joachim, thank you very much for your opinion. I appreciate it a lot. I am adding a photo of the figure before I painted it. Forage cap is made of a putty and the cigarette is made of heated sprue. Thomas.

This is just great. I like the camo scheme and in general it is a nice clean work. 👏

The Spitfire MK.VB in 1/72 scale by Směr (old Heller form) with a small vignette depicting Karel Pošta taking a cigarette break during flights. The build was quite fun as well as the sculpt. I had to fix the rudder, which was badly pressed (see last photo). The figure is a modified German tanker from Orion set. This is my return to modeling after 10 years or so. Photos are taken by a mobile phone, so I am sorry for the lower quality. Cheers, Thomas Vintage filter: Original photos of Karel Pošta and Ladislav Světlík, who flew on the aircraft in contrast with the model in the lower right corner. Correction of the rudder:
