JohnB Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Taking a break from things with wings. This Tiger 1 will be next up on the bench. Looks like a outstanding kit and should make a really cool model! Stay tuned. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Sewell did a review on it and gave it high marks. The only "problem" I see is all the molding tabs. Looks like enough to make another kit! LOL Pretty tedious to remove and clean up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you might can tell, I went with scheme #4. I built it OOB as suits my lazy approach to modelling, but I added some metal supports for the tracks on the forward superstructure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Whoa, wait a minute! Going armor, and not even US armor?? Who are you and what have you done with JohnB?? Cool beans, John! Looking forward to seeing you build it. Dragon kits are my number 1 preference when it comes to armor. Gaz 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 This should be fun to watch. So John, are going with glossy sea blue or the earlier tri-coloir scheme? Carl 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been busy removing the plethora of molding tabs and cleaning all that up. I hope to get started on building and pre-painting this weekend. If I remember correctly, interiors on German panzers were a rusty red color or a whiteish ivory color. Correct me if I'm wrong! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. If your work is on the level of your aircraft then you'll likely get a better result than I. Red primer below a certain point, but as there is little interior provided none of that may show, other than a bit through the rear cooling vents. The ivory color in the crew areas will be more apparent through the hatches but if you button it up it won't matter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
