looks great! I just saw this kit at my LHS and was wondering about it.

Thanks for Your answer.For people who make this scale is nothing new.On this Forum You could see some beautiful done tigers,for example by J-Hulk or by Crockett.

The most of all efforts need interior,because oryginal is very simplified [V].Engine compartament is practice empty.Gear box and cluthes are also to exchange.Turret needs only some details more inside,but its shape is symetric and should be asymetric[:(!].Exterior is in principle acceptaible.[:)]

Very nice. Interesting to see the model with a plastic exterior and paper interior.

That is looking great!

Its slowly time to back to my relation.I ve done some small steps,glued some 1-25 PE parts from Aber and paited first coats.i did some new figures too,when I enjoyed with resin.Today i paited again and another tiger (gray 113 from Marui) too.Pics showed conjuncture from yesterday.

and 1-25 scale figures with cat background

have a fun!

Looking great, your interior is much more accurate than mine. Awesome work!

Looks good, cant wait to see it when you are complete!

Nice progress. Amazing work with paper on your interior. I look forward to seeing more.

Hi Friends!

I`m happy You like my efforts,thanks for Your possitive opinion,but the long way to the final.

Crockett Your relation i visite somethimes ,when I hit on problem.I will make resin copy to interior,because i`ve got 2 tigers more.By the way have You seen my 1-25 Panther with resin individual tracks?

Reagards from Poland

Yes, I have seen your Panther and I am most impressed by your work. Please let me know how you solved the ammo storage issue on the Tamiya Tiger, I just could not get those four rounds to fit abreast on that sponson. I modified the kit parts as you can see in my old thread.

regards,

Steve

Hi Steve!

All interior based on polish paper-card model from Halinski publisher home.Somethimes i have to change position the walls or minimize some parts(battery is few % smaller,lower) .This paper-card tank ,and its interior You can seen in standard version on german forum Kartonbau.Just now i can`t find some pics from Poland.This one model is from another firm,than i showed here.My is from GPM.

Nice Tiger build PiterPanzer, outstading work!!

beautiful work man![:D]-- i am sure it will be as nice or even better than the great job you did on your panther–[tup]-- treadwell

Wow, looks totally different with the paint update.

Hi again and thanks for positive opinion.

The next small step is camo painting.I based on 2 oryginal pics and 3 colorful "ars poetica "schemes.Like You can see very difficult to find good colours interpretation from black and white photo…

First time on my model i changed tracks paiting technique. Now it looks like below

and both tracks for comparision

I painted some parts inside too.

How do You find that?

[:)]

Looking good to me! Tracks look good, but they seem to have a hint of green?? Maybe just the pic.

And some pics from progress.Tactical numer was painted with hand -made pattern.

Reagards Piotr :slight_smile:

Excellent work Piotr. Is the top removable…?

Looks to desparately need a wash to deepen those recesses.

Thanks .Yes all is removable,even more like in oryginal model.I `ve done open engine deck and radiator hatch.

The second pic is from pre -paiting period.
