I think the camo is so sharp…love how geometrical/tight it appears….then with the chipping and blending, it appears so realistic. Great addition with the barbed wire, too. Would love to see a real Tiger in person (well, maybe not facing one in battle :))

Thanks mate. Yep, you can't go far wrong with a Tamiya kit - even the older ones

Nice work, looks great. I really like that you didn’t over do it with rust and weathering . Other guys over do it, their models look great. Don’t get me wrong , but the war was 1939-1945 . The war was over in six years . Some models look like they’ve been lost in the woods for thirty. My Grandfather was a tank driver in the Canadian Army, he lost five tanks from 43-45 . Most of those vehicles never lasted long enough to look that old

The fraying of the tubing can be easily corrected by moving a flame across it quickly. If you look at the ends as it comes from Tamiya it is exactly what they did. Instructions also point out to paint before cutting. Flame worked great for me as it shrunk it a bit to fit tighter onto the plastic "piping" from the air boxes.

Suspect the Tamiya instructions are misleading, they would have been better with ticks and crosses. The tank museum replaced the original spare tracks with fibreglass copies some years ago, I'm not sure if this is still the case but if there are any spares they probably want them to keep the vehicle running. I believe one possible unique feature of Tiger 131 is the step iron beneath the spare track retainer - apparently, it was a crew modification. Great model by the way, I remember building the original Tamiya version many years ago which at the time seemed fantastic compared to anything else available.
