                        I really enjoyed building it. Tamiya Tiger I 1/35 R/C
                        went together well , and really enjoyed painting/weathering it. The photos arent too great but was anxious to get them posted so didn't spend too much time on the pic's .
                        Anyway here she is , comments/sugestions appreciated. Mark

                        I think that qualifies you for admission to the Dark Side. LOL Welcome to the club Mark and a very popular build too. What did you like or not like about the experience. Any others down the road?

                        Bob101, we look forward to yours also.

                        Thanks guys, I liked the Tamiya kit alot the only 2 issues I had are 1 the r/c motor unit didn't work, I sent it to Tamiya USA and hope :) they will send me a replacement. I also had a tough time getting the tracks and wheels to line up right?? oh well it rolls at least.
                        Painting was fun but drybrushing and weathering was better Smile [:)] Photo etch was a pain in the #$% so I ended up only using 6-10 pieces of the whole darn kit I bought. Juat got a mission models etchmate this week, so the next attempt should be a little easier.
                        I am starting the Tamiya Panther now.

                        Very nice Tiger; glad to hear you enjoyed the experience.

                        I agree with Dwight, that is very nice subtle weathering; it really finishes it well.

                        Very nice build. That's quite a project to tackle for a first tank, and I can tell you, it turned out a lot better than my first one.

                        looks great. I just finished the same build myself, though not the R/C version. Gotta say your crewman looks better than mine. Maybe I should just close my hatch......

                        Thanks again for the kind wordsSmile [:)] I like the look of the grey and dessert yellow ones best too. grey especially. For weathering I tried all the basic tips from a couple of finescale books and also ideas I got from all oof you, oil wash w black, tried an acryllic wash with rust drybrushed with lightend german grey and paastels for weathering. Also prismacolors for the tow cables. I am proudest of the tracks as far a s weathering I think they look cool. that was a heavy acrylic wash rust and alumunum and grey drybrush. Thanks again. mark
