Badder Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Very nice indeed. Interesting camo. Very dark overall, but I like it. Not seen that on a Tiger before, but I'm no expert. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding some links about this camo Thanks for the links. You've saved me a job in the future as I have the 'late' Tiger in the stash but was dreading the 'usual' 3 colour camo, which I don't find 'attractive'. Now though I will be using the same camo pattern as you and I'm looking forward to it. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to your new topic (Tiger late ver). Cheers Edited October 16, 2018 by witjas4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hello W. Very good Tiger ! impressive work and painting. I'm currently doing mine, but I add a self made interior. How did you have weathered the wheels ? I really like the effect ! Congrats ! Sincerely. Corsaircorp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have washed the wheels in dark brown wash, then chipped in some areas by brown-metal mix paint then painted (and polished) wheel rims by metalcote (Humbrol 27003). It was also a delicate layer of dust but it disappeared after I covered them with clear satin layer, and I just resigned to make a dust again (may be I'll renew weathering sometime) Cheers P.S. I'll post my another Tiger w/interior (finished in April this year) Edited October 16, 2018 by witjas4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Great Tiger, super paintwork and an uncommon scheme. Every time I consider doing one, unless I go very early or late, I'm put off by the prospect of zimmerit. Cheers Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Excellent build. The AFV club Tiger is a nice kit, I used photo etch Zimmerit on mine. The Tiger's shape makes the application fairly easy. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't think seriously about zimmerit while building the kit, but now I little regret that I didn't add zimmerit 😕 It really looks good on your Tiger.

Then chip and highlight? Is there a WIP? Thanks Edited December 12, 2021 by Whitewolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Thank you guys but if you ask me, so... this is the one of my first models, so when I look at it now.... I only like the camo scheme and the wheels look. This model definitely needs re-weathering process Edited August 10, 2023 by witjas4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
