I started this one a few weeks ago,so far so good
Nice
Looking forward to viewing your project.
Got the same kit in the stash, so will be watching this one. Nice start.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Thank you Bish and Spruce for your comments.Not too much time to work,but I got the Fruils assembled this weekend,more pics later this week.
Tracks are always good to get out of the way Anthony, looks like your TIger is progressing nicely.

WOW! You work fast. Always good to see another Tiger build.

Looking great! I have both of Whittman's Tigers built in 1/72 scale, his early one and this one as well.
I knew I wouldn't be able to exactly duplicate 007's distinctive 3-tone camo,but it looks decent anyway.Next up will be the weathering process.I also assembled and treated the Fruils with AK Burnishing Fluid and some AK washes.I like the dark brown color.They still will get some pigments to impart a dusty look along with sanding the high points.
The crew hatches in the hull are the wrong way around.

Very nice looking cammo color and with the Friuls rusted should look good.
Nice paint progress Anthony! Hopefully you can flip around those crew hatches and repaint to match the pattern without too much trouble.
Thanks everyone for the looks,
David and Bill,the hatches are not glued,I plan to have them open with crew in them,so I will switch them out
That looks just fine--don't worry about "exact" paint schemes. Anyone who presumes to say that you got something about it wrong would be making a pretty tall statement.
Only thing I would've done would have been yo apply a lightened top coat to the DY. Weathering always darkens it up, and you should think about trying a lighter coat next time. Add about 20% DY to Buff or White and spray from above to get a lighter overtone on the top of the model. It really simulates depth and "scale size" a lot better in 1/35 scale.
Coming to the finish line with this one.Just have to add the antennas,figures,and do some spot weathering
Now that's looking really nice.
I take it your not keen on the kit tracks.
Bish Now that's looking really nice. I take it your not keen on the kit tracks.
Thanks Bish,I don't mind DS tracks at all,but every once in awhile I will spring for Fruils,and this was the limited kit,so I went for it
I was in two minds about the DS tracks. I normally replace all rubber band tracks with Fruil's, but thought I would give the DS a try. I use them on my panther for the Steel cats GB and wasn't keen. I reckon I will end up getting Fruils for this kit as well.
Well,I'm calling this one done.A real nice kit to work on,no issues of any kind.Painted in mostly Tamiya paints,weathered with AK and Mig products.I added an RB barrel and I sprung for Fruils for this one.Thank you for the looks,encouragement ,and comments,also any suggestions welcome.
My only suggestion is to remove 1 antenna from the hull. The hull could fit a FuG8 or FuG7, but not both.
A decent-looking TIger, Tojo. I can't really tell from the photos, but the tracks look a bit uniform in color--did you weather the inside of them where those metal wheels would be grinding along on that steel? That's one thing I would look at for some improvement if you haven't done so. :)
That's a sweet looking build Tojo, glad to here it went together well.
Byrden is right about the antenna's, it should only carry the star antenna on the hull.
