This one is I'd say Gelbbraun (Ral 8000) with Rotbraun 1 (Ral 8017) camo with Braun (Ral 8020) patches Btw he hasn't read the retired Greyhound operation manual that states he's layed back and likes to sleep most of the day....

Foxbat Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Just checked both my Dragon Tigers and there's options for everything EXCEPT idlers Shame, as both kits are for early ones so if the idlers had been in there, they would have been yours.

More aliases than... And as for a Tiger thread, I've given the Ral numbers for his colour scheme! Not even going to ask where the Dave references have come from, Fools and Horses obvs but... Upon reflection perhaps Scoobie should be a Damien rather than a Dave. (Convinced he was the satanic hound before he eventually started to settle down). As for idlers.... Grey is from Dragon, yellow is AFV club Dragon provides large and small diameter idlers in the late kits, AFV Club just small. Both 6406 and 6383 have the same sprues 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Now that Darryl has very kindly posted pictures of the Dragon (small/large) and AFV Club idlers, I'm intrigued to know what the Tamiya idlers look like Steve, have Tamiya just supplied large idlers in the kit? (when they should be the small type) or are they just completely the wrong size, i.e. don't match anything? Matt (dave) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you jump forward to about 2:18 in this vid then there is some footage of your Narva Tiger 1, as seen in the picture you posted I was hunting Sturmtiger info, and spotted your Tiger picture in the footage.

Tamiya supply the large ones and as far as I can tell they are correct in size and shape for the early and mid production Tigers ...Sturmtigers were normally damaged Tigers sent back for remanufacture so the steel wheels were an upgrade ...some of the earlier Late production Tigers did use the larger idler so you may get away with using the larger idlers on a Sturmtiger. basically anything built during or after Feb 44 had the reduced 600mm idler.. chassis numbers 250817 - 250911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoat2966 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Afternoon all.....quick update and a impromptu poll......this is the camo' I decided on as it's vastly different to the usual 3 tone camo'. It's from the Grossdeutchland Regiment in and around Gumbinnen (Northern Poland) June 1944. It's in Rotbraun over the Dunkelgelb, specific to the III/Pz. Rgt. It's gonna be a few more hours once I get on to matching the design to the main hull. Anyway, any comments on proceeding with or switching back to a 3 tone welcome.

Ma Friends... (lol) He does that with everything, construction, painting, weathering, base work, he claims that he is a complete noob... and then produces work that is quite simply stunning, he's the best thing on Youtube at the moment for armour modelling content, watching him build that T29E3 just makes you (me) wanna build one, he's on a different planet 1 hour ago, Redcoat2966 said: Afternoon all.....quick update and a impromptu poll Looks good, very different, should stand out Matt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
