Tamiya 1/35 Kit Tiger (Production)

Back at the King this morning. In step 2 I built up the drive sprocket and idler wheel, leaving the road wheels for now, instead I hopped over to step 3 attaching the transmission/drive sprockets, idler arms. After that it was on to step 4 assembling the aft exhaust bulkhead and attaching the mud guards. -

Oh thanks. I really enjoyed doing the ambush diorama. It was great fun and I used a bunch of new techniques. -

I really enjoyed building this ambush diorama which you can see on display in Cambridge Ontario at Forbes Hobbies. -

AK makes all sorts of color combinations however I thought these two would best suit armor builds. I’m anxious to try them!

How about this for a unique scheme? I’m kinda leaning to this as a scheme for my Me410B variant. A beautiful photograph of a captured Messerschmitt Me-410A-3 during a test flight under RAF evaluation. Note the RAF roundels painted over the original Luftwaffe markings. The Me-410 "Hornisse" (Hornet) was developed as a high-speed heavy fighter and bomber destroyer, designed to correct the disastrous flaws of its predecessor, the Me-210. The A-3 variant seen here was a long-range reconnaissance version, equipped with cameras in place of some armament, while still retaining impressive speed and defensive firepower. The Me-410 excelled in fast hit-and-run missions against unescorted bombers and in reconnaissance roles where its speed was a significant advantage. However, the arrival of long-range Allied escort fighters like the P-51 Mustang exposed the Me-410's poor maneuverability, leading to heavy losses in daylight combat. By late 1944, the Me-410 was withdrawn from bomber destroyer roles but continued to serve in limited numbers as a night fighter and reconnaissance platform until the war's end. Captured examples like this provided the RAF with valuable insights into German twin-engine fighter designs.
