You might want to check the base color for your model.  It's well established that your Tiger version was only painted in dark yellow with optional dark green and red-brown camouflage.  Good luck w/your Tiger!

My thought was the same as Roy's--a nice job on that grey finish, but unfortunately, late Tigers were painted in Dark Yellow. Generally anything with zimmerit will be painted in that shade.

Having said that, you did a really nice job on the shading of the grey. Don't know what you painted it with, but "Simple Green" does a mean, quick job of stripping acrylics in like, a half hour, clean! Hopefully you could paint it in the correct color and have a real contest winner!

 Well now, that was quick. The Zimm shows up better, but to my eye it looks out of scale, er - uh too thick. On a real Zimmed vehicle it would be difficult to count all the ridges (as if anyone were counting). Toning down the color a bit would also help quite a lot.

 Don't forget to pay attention to the metal to metal track surfaces and rolling http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/Rolling_on_the_floor.gif contact areas.
