HL-10 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 In Dragon's latest issue of the Tiger 1 you get a set of figures based on wartime photographs of Michael Wittman and his crew taken in Russia. The Tiger itself is made up, as with nearly all of Dragon's armour kits, by multiple sprues, some with the same identifying letter, bearing numerous parts, many duplicates, which if you can manage to de-cypher the infuriatingly confusing instructions, into an impressive kit of the Tiger. I replaced the kit's tracks with as et of metal ones from Friul, and used a mixture of enamels and acrylics to paint the tank. The figures were painted with enamels. post a picture screen shots free image host temporary image hosting pic upload image hosting more than 5mb adult image sharing Thanks for looking 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Thanks again everyone I tried a different type of weathering for the temporary snow camouflage. I painted the original scheme using Tamiya acrylics, then sealed it with a cote of Klear. For the "white wash" I used heavily thinned Humbrol enamel white applied with an airbrush at low pressure, building it up for the desired effect. Once dried, I used a stiff brush damp with white spirits to scrub the enamel back to get the worn effect. I seemed to work ok, only lifting a few parts of the original scheme, which I then incorporated into the chipped effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
