Tiger I Late - M.Wittman - (New WIP)

This should be a fun one to watch Rodolfo. The Tamiya Tiger I Late was one of my all-time favorite kits. You look like you have everything but the kitchen sink. What are you using for the zimmerit?

Deffinatly looking forward to seeing this come together. I haven't seen this tamiya kit before, is it a new one.

Great choice,,,,    will be sure to watch how this one progresses!

Lots of goodies being thrown at this one Rodolfo, ought to make for a fun project!

Please count me in... I got a seat at front row.  I don't think I have seen this Tamiya kit before... is it new?  If so, I'd love to get one if its that good.

Thanks for your kind comments friends!

This kit was presented as: "Tank late Version Limited Memorial Set" in 2004 in Philippines, but I think that is the same old mold kit.

Preparing the way for applying the Zimmerit.

I will use the tools and the Polyester Putty of Tamiya , both are an excellent resource.

Filling the holes before to assemble the tools with Photoetched.

Some impressive work going on here, particularly that fine PE/brass assembly Rodolfo, keep it coming!

  I dig the homemade Zimm....   Looking forward to more of this!

I like the PE work  and Zimmerit too!  Excellent job! 

PE has always been the bane of my existence! 

Can't even imangine the cost of the PE.

Who, major PE work. Hey, I too am digging that zimmerit. 

Excellent work, Rodolfo!

"Master at work", obviously!

It's looking great! Especially that zimmerit-I have that Tamiya tool too, and they're excellent implements for making the zimm, Yours is very nicely rendered!

Thanks for your kind comments friends!

Impressive work, indeed! Can't wait to see more.

Pretty cool build. How did you make the dent in the storage to start with?

I was wondering that as well

Looking good Rodolfo, keep it up! and

This is looking really nice, and would love to know how you did that damage.

Thanks for your kind comments friends!.   I made the damage to the box turret by drilling the 2 holes and then with the flame of a candle, at a moderated distance, I waited until it was soften and pushed with a tweezers of heavy end  (non-pointed).  Soon more pics!

Thanks friend!

This is great, I think my eyes gave up this sort of detail 15 years ago :)

I am not sure that I have ever seen that particular type off Tamiya putty in any Swedish store - what would your second best option be? 

Thank you for sharing!

That's very cool and no doubt quite delicate. Great work so far.
