My Tiger I Ausf E

Posted by rtvmodeler on Friday, February 27, 2004 12:45 AM

Hello friends:

Here I am showing you another work of mine. It is a Tiger I Ausf E that I built 1 year 6 months ago. On this tank I used for the first time the work with photoetched and other accesories, I hope you like it.

Scheme: End of 1943, Tigers in the Zihtomir sector; tactic number S33 of the sKp/SS-PzRgt.2, SS-Panzer Grenadier Division Das Reich. with the marking used from the Kursk offensive. (Modified after battle)

Model: Tiger I Ausf E of Tamiya, scale 1,35 with photoetched and resin of Verlinden and cables & Bosch lights of Greif.

Best regards,
Rodolfo

Current Project:

Figures from Dragon, "German 6th Army, Stalingrad 1942-1943", 1/35

Looks really nice. I like the effect you achieved for the interior wash. Second last pic, the open hatch, demonstrates this. How did you do this?
The lenses are really great. maybe I should try the aftermarket stuff :)

Outstanding! I am a Tiger 1 maniac and I've brought out some award-winning Tigers myself, but that is excellent. Are those vynil treads? They look outstanding too! It all looks good, but I am doing a double take on that tread sag.

The Aber photoetched are a great addition!, be careful with the parts because are some thin, I worked with Aber, Verlinden, Royal Models, Eduard and The Show Modeling and all have a near same hand.

some parts of the interior were washed with oils and turpentine spirit, one quick touch is all and ready!

Certainly, this tiger was awarded with special mention
Thanks again friends,
