This is a Tiger I from Dragon with a few extras.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Terry,
 Well, by now I've learned not to be disappointed when you post a build.

 Keep raising the

A beautiful Tiger to say the very least.

Really sharp as usual, love the fading effect. Looks like she's really been baking out in the North African sun.

I did mine by using several layers for pigments sealed with flat coat and then dry brushed with metalizer paint.

Thanks

Actually the Russian sun.  It's marked for the battle of Kursk.

Whoops, I was thinking North Africa from the air cleaners. Thanks for the correction, I guess that an initial model sent to Kursk would have had them too. Embarrassed

After the first 10 Tigers, every Tiger was issued the filters until September 1943. They were taken off if not needed, usually up in the snowy areas.

Ah, one of the few good things about being ignorant about a subject is I get to learn so much new stuff! Thanks for filling me in there.

That is fantastic work. I REALLY like the dunkelgelb on this model. What paint did you use for the base dunkelgelb coat?

Dwayne or Dman or just D.  All comments are welcome on my builds.
