                        Great job Gunney!

                        For your first project, this baby is the real deal. I dig that weathered look. Did you brush paint?

                        Looks good. Very nice.

                        Always like a good Tiger model, we can never have to many of those.

                        Nicely done. Now that you have seen the enlightenment of armor and can turn your back on those heretical wingy things, what's next?

                        I just got the same kit and I love it. I hope mine comes out as well as yours. By the way, what yellow paint did you use?

                        Looks great Gunney. If you want to build a halftrack with AA, Tamiya has one with the quad 20mm. Italeri does one with a 37mm and a 20mm.

                        good work on your tiger, and welcome to the mech world. i'd like to recommend a good haiftrack but the only ones i've done are tamiya. i guess it just depends on your skill and confidence level.

                        Ah Gunny, ya make us proud! no job to tough. Unfortunately, I get those darn red "x's". I still don't understand why some folks can see your photo's, and I can't. Our armor brothers are just going to have to get me out of the dark, or explain why I get them, or how to go around them. Anyhow I trust what I'm hearing from the treadheads so my compliments. semper fi, mike
