Here are some pics of the Tiger I built (in just under 48 hours) for the “weekend of madness group build”
I thought I’d share them with you.

Built in 48 hours ? Takes me that long to read the instructions. Well done [tup].
Regards, Rick
48 hours!!! It would take me a week just to do the paint job. Very nice work.
Considering the tight timeframe, I’d say you did an excellent job on this one! I attempted one of those “weekend warrior” builds a while back with a 1/72 Jagdpanther and went in thinking that 48 hours was pleeeeeenty of time…boy was I wrong! I barely squeaked it in under the deadline and that was without much sleep to boot! [:D]
Nice Tiger…
I’m more on the “48 month” schedule myself. That’s great, especially considering you did it in a weekend.
What can I say?Beautiful Tiger no matter how long it took.
WOW! 48 hours AND 48th scale! It takes me two weeks, let alone two days…and your Tiger is excellent![tup]

Superb!
That was the very first kit I ever built-a great kit it was too.
It took me 48 hours to get the bloody L&L tracks fitted!
Lovely work Sir [;)]

Sweet! I have this same kit in the stash I bought for a little “2 fer” project at some point (partnering this up with an Early Production Sherman). Nice to see it builds up real pretty like!
