Thanks harv!!! Masking the wheels with Parafilm to start painting the camouflage. Parafilm can be stretched and molded to any surface without the need for glue.

Finished the application of the first color A-MIG-7028 Dunkelgelb thinned with A.MIG-2000 Thinner for better flow. (The skirts were painted apart).

Nothing happens, it happens that the grid is not glued since it can be opened, so it looks irregular.

Finished the application Tamiya Gray Primer.

Tiger I, Otto Carius - Finished the assembly !, the skirts and tracks are not glued, they are "over-put" for demonstration, follow the painting !!!.

Finished the small interior detail using Vallejo paints except the periscopes that I used MIG paint.

The turret is almost ready inside, I applied MIG Primer White and then a mixture of Tamiya with white and lacquer for fluidity in the airbrush. I just need to detail something about the cannon and periscopes.

Thanks for your kind comments friends!. The tiger is practically finished, first I have to airbrush the inside of the turret as well as the barrel and seats.

Thanks GazzaS!. Photo-etched in tools work has finished, a bit tedious, I think I'll start buying the latest "new generation" ready-made ones, hee, hee.

Hello friend I have started the assembly of tools and tow cables. The holes of the conductor's protective block were very large so I proceeded to fill them with Vallejo putty.

Hello friend!. Yes, it is rare, it is probably a defect of the aging production plate. The plate and the chassis are already adjusted. I have finished the rear and the front without problems, I think I will seal the hatches of the grilles because up there will be an hook and it will avoid them from opening.

Thanks for your comments friends!. I didn't like the first DS tracks from me, they were too weak and sometimes they broken with Humbrol washes but now they are different, at least in the last kts I have built The main board is a bit uneven so the front of the right side has to be lightly sanded to be able to adjust it to the chassis.

Hello friends! Ready the photo-cut in the cooling system although it is not very necessary if it is not going to be shown.

Thanks GazzaS, Yes, I did the same in other works with the zimmerit but I prefer that they are already integrated as in this kit. Assembly of the wheels including 1 damaged "by combat" and another without mounting of the first one in the row. The tracks I had to stretch them a bit because they were somewhat short, it is an advantage of the DS.

Hello friend!. I regularly glue and paint them with a lot of patience and a good pulse, other times I paint them before gluing them to the tank, after painting them I add the tracks. Here is an easy assembly without complications, the back plate with the Zimmerit well accomplished.

Thanks for your kind comments friends!. My version will be Malinovka. To assemble the torsion bars you have to be more careful with the alignment of the suspensions because the bars are weak and although they fix properly, they do not have enough force to prevent them from moving, before gluing the wheels you must make sure of this. These are great for those who want to mount the wheels on a diorama and fix it on irregular terrain.

Hello! The detail of the Zimmerit is better than I thought, the irregular surface is more convincing than when they were very uniform. Regards! Rodolfo
