echen Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Jasper dog said: Again don't do it now on this build but I tend to spray the inside of the hull and the engine deck matt black prior to assembly. Deals with all those open hatch and grill issues. Had another thought. I remembered that, ages ago, when I first got the Tiger that I looked at setting up a photo image of the fans/radiators/fuel tank covers that are visible through the Tiger engine deck grilles. I think I'll revisit that before the matt black route. Thanks again Darryl for the input. ATB Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Not much to report, but I have actually done some modelling recently. Added the sprockets to the painted lower hull (with attendant grommet issues as previously mentioned - typically, I found the right ones now it's too late). Now the task of painting and adding the wheels. Always a joy on a Tiger, so doing it in stages so I don't just burst with excitement 😕 In the meantime, to keep my spirits up, the postie has been That lot should keep me out of mischief for a wee while, even if there is a Tiger missing.

Nice stack of kits there Andy, the Asuka M4A1 76mm is a new one to me, I have a couple or three of their M4A1 75mm in the stash. I applied the 505 charging Knight decals to my Tiger turret, I had tried the Techmod ones first as they were the most accurate, but no matter how much decal softener I used they would not settle down into the zimmerit, then I tried some Cartograf ones but the same story so I gave up for now and decided to finish off a Jagd Tiger on the shelf of doom, finally got the tracks on after 25 years! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your hair on, as I said I'll let you know once they arrive! Jeeez Kids! If I get 5 min I'll have a look at the heads for you.
