dov Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hallo again Now I started a Tiger II. The kit is HB. A very good mold, I am astonished about the quality. It is a kit without interior. I build all different types of tanks from Germany, Russia and Great Britain from WW2. Two exceptions are Merkavas from Israel present day. My build is straight from the box. I build the version just painted in Minium; it is a protective paint against rust. Without any marking, ready for deployment. Well, first I work on plastic, without all tools and pulling ropes etc. After turret and tracks, I start spraying the first round. With tools and etched parts the second round. Well, we will see how it works out. Corona makes me more patient, we will have lots of time. Here in Austria we have curfew. It will last I think three full months.

dov Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hallo again Now the Tiger II B is finished. As particular niece, I got a new idea for the optics. The mirrors. I used for this purpose an overall coat of Fine Silver SM 201 from Mr. Hobby, after masking the two rectangular vision areas. After that, I used RLM 66, the dark grey. It may be approximately the real color. The interior of the turret is a mixture of C 313 and C 1. Therefore, it is a very good approximation. Well, that is it. It was a good-engineered kit. Really. Highly to recommend. Happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
