zliu013 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) A RFM kit, good details, bad plastic material, workable track lins is a big plus.

JackG Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Great looking Tunisian Tiger. If I were to crit anything, it would be the modulation on the turret roof. Too overpowering, such that it begins to change the structure, making the flat surface appear curved. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue705 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 If I may, insignia looks scew-wiff and brand new? Apart from that very nice 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Absolutely superb, nothing to object, for me it is a magnificent representation of the Tiger, which perfectly shows the strength of the brute. Cheers mate 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Superb! Colour modulation and weathering first rate. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Superb work with a beautiful desert yellow and first class chipping - although I do agree that the modulation on the turret gives the roof plates a curved appearance - but that can be corrected without too much bother. It does look to be a very nice kit - I especially like the extra details over the Tamiya version, such as the 'lids' on the turret-mounted smoke grenade canisters and the mounting points for the side skirts. I wouldn't worry about the slightly askew turret numbers - I bet many were put on wonky in real life. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding to the roof issue, I think a couple of slight straight streaks starting from the border of the slop towards the front will give viewers a hint of a flat surface. So that, the distribution of color variation can be kept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I think that the weathering is what brings this one to life. Nice one. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Great Tiger! I think the weathering is first-class. Can you please share some info about your chipping technique? It looks very realistic and I would love to try that effect on my own upcoming Tiger build. Thanks and again, fantastic tank model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please share some info about your chipping technique? It looks very realistic and I would love to try that effect on my own upcoming Tiger build. Thanks and again, fantastic tank model! Thank you for your nice comments. For the chipping, I use a HB pencil and a couple of water color pencils in brown color, one lighter and one darker, to do the job. All pencils need to be sharpened to get a very fine tip. Then, I start with the HB one to define the chipping shapes and patterns in a specific area, try your best not to drag the tip on the surface (unless you want to represent scratches on the surface), instead, gently touch the surface with the tip to mark tiny dots on the surface, achieve whatever shapes and patterns you want by accumulating enough of dots. After the shapes and patterns being defined, I’ll use the lighter brown pencil to dot on top of some randomly chosen HB doted areas, to mimic freshly rusted chip, and use the darker brown one to mimic aged rusted areas. patience is the key for success. Good luck on your upcoming Tiger. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Hi mate I like your Tiger so much, even some mates get disturb of the colour modulation, i find it looks superb, i will tell you why. Because you bring three dimensionality and plasticity into your model, your model is living, it looks so interesting, the best Tiger i ever seen here. Only the bit slanty and brandnew iron cross bother me a bit. May i ask you which colours did you used?

Peter Browne Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Excellent weathering and modulation. I am thinking of getting the RFM Tiger Late E to do after my Dragon Early E "131". So I am interested in what you mean by "bad plastic material"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model Mate Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 lovely job on the chipping and weathering. I particularly like the rust streaks - very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff72 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Since when does a Tiger have a flat turret roof? Think it looks amazing,you just forgot the camo netting on the right hull side😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
