Hey buddy,

I love this build! beautiful work and by God what a stunning paint scheme - the turret roof inspires awa!

My personal preference is for early war Pz I's and II's but I'm currently building my second Tiger I and I'm growing very find of them. My first was Dragon's 6600 Initial Tiger and my current wip is for Tigermans 'Steel Cats' GB. For that I'm building Dragons 6383 Pz IV Ausf E c/w moulded on Zim with Friuls and RB Barrel / RB Antennae and AM shackles.

I'll be following this closely and using some of your tips too.

Lovely work!
