Bill.B Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It’s been a while since I made my last tank, (a T34/85 as I recall) so I thought I’d have a break from aircraft and scratch a long standing Tiger itch I’ve had. This is the Dragon Models version of an early DAK Tiger 1 and goes together really easily. It’s built out the box with the included PE, but I couldn’t resist adding a set of Friul metal tracks to add a bit of weight to the model and give a fairly authentic sag to the assembly. Paints are Tamiya acrylics, Windsor & Newton lacquers, and various washes, oils and powders have been utilised to dirty up the tank and tracks. Weathering AFV’s definitely isn’t my strong point, but it’s fun trying new methods and ideas which may, or may not be of use at a later date, and I really must try making dioramas at some point. Anyway, here it is… 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Nice! I didn't know they came in a chocolate ripple flavour. You've made it look very solid and a real heavyweight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Nicely done! 👍 Model colours are a personal choice, while historically Tigers of the 501 independent heavy battalion (not an actual DAK unit) were low contrast colours as displayed by the Bovington Tiger. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kindred spirit! But that said, I can recognise a good looking model. Nice work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchmirth Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This is a lovely looking tiger, great tracks, probably cost a bomb but worth it tough. Paint scheme is great as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
