I'll stick to my craft pins then... lol And, is that supposed to say 'Create Miracle' on that plastic container, and it got badly spelt or translated?

And I agree Steve i also think some kind of award would be justified 🙂👍 14 hours ago, Retired Bob said: It has been quiet lately, Not at all good. Don't worry fans, all is fine. Still need to pack the sandbags away but discovered not only do they help to prevent water ingress but also mother in laws too! (Think daleks and steps and you'll get the idea!). Had a busy day yesterday, spent so much time at the bench had to stop due to eyes starting ache, doesn't look much but still a solid day modelling. Pushing on with the M4 so as its off the bench prior to the Pzr III build. 12 hours ago, Andy J said: Loosely translated it says " Vely sirry englisman is think metal twacks him Vely disappointed man " 🙂👍 There'll be complaints from the strong armour modelling woke community!

Jasper dog Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Cracked on with a little chipping, don't think trying to do the whole thing in one sitting is a good idea. Concentration startes to slip and clumsiness can set in, might add more to it later but it will do for now! Initial chipping is with a lightened base colour followed by another even lighter tone then the dark red-brown base and the odd metallic effect for the deepest. Little ham-fisted in parts but it'll be fine in the end.... honest! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at your fine work you can start to understand why it has been so hard to tell whether these tanks had camo or not........very subtle isn't it......great looking chipping by the way Darryl can you do me a flavour.....can you measure centre to centre the gap between the holes at the top of the commander's cupola as the Tamiya kits don't have this detail......thanks bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Halfords do a rattle can "Tiger Touch Up" for these sort of problems. I have just ordered a new Tiger kit....Dragon #6728 KiKi, the Kursk/Kharkov period.

Assuming you mean the holes running around the commanders cupola on the vertical sides, they are approx 7.5mm apart. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Tiki was most definitely three color, Dark yellow with Green Brown overspray. Those DR Tigers are probably the most photographed Tigers of the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I will build Tiki, depends what's in the box. The Border kit featured tanks used at Kursk that had barbed wire attached to deter Russian tank hunter teams, I had never seen it before but here's a photo: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
