Pretty cool build. How did you make the dent in the storage to start with?

 

Ditto I was wondering that as well

That looks awesome!  Nice work applying the zimmerit and working with the PE.  I like the damage to the turret storage boxes too.  Keep up the good work.

Excellent work, Rodolfo!

"Master at work", obviously! Big Smile

It's looking great! Especially that zimmerit-I have that Tamiya tool too, and they're excellent implements for making the zimm, Yours is very nicely rendered!

Smile Thanks for your kind comments friends!

This kit was presented as: "Tank late Version Limited Memorial Set" in 2004 in Philippines, but I think that is the same old mold kit.

Preparing the way for applying the Zimmerit.

I will use the tools and the Polyester Putty of Tamiya , both are an excellent resource.

Filling the holes before to assemble the tools with Photoetched.

Rodolfo

This should be a fun one to watch Rodolfo. The Tamiya Tiger I Late was one of my all-time favorite kits. You look like you have everything but the kitchen sink. What are you using for the zimmerit?
