Hi I havn’t built a model since I was a kid, but I really need a hobby[:I] Si I ordered a Tamiya 1/35 scale Tiger Tank early…r/c kit and some photo etched details for it. I have a couple of weeks before it arrives and would like to research the Tiger and camo, units…etc…anyone have any reccomendations for web sites to get me started? thanks.Mark[:)]
The best thing to do is use google and google images. Don’t know about websights, I usually use books. If you are interested:

Thanks for all the help, looking forward to starting the build
Mark,
I find it helpful to narrow it down to a campaign, ie. Africa, Russia, France…it’ll make Google searches easier, then you find something that catches your eye. With the early version, you may want to stick to Tunisia or Russia.
You’re going to love this kit. Here’s an old post of my build…unfortunately not much more progress since then, just some mud and weather.

Oh…WELCOME, we can always use another Tiger around here.
If interested, I can give you a laundry list of reference books.
Hey ausf! is this one of those threads where we end up talking about Tiger books ?? [;)]
BTW have you recieved the 503 book yet ??
Looks like it…
Just as I started to read your post, my son asked me if he could look at one of my ‘tank books’. The softcovers are far game, but he knows to ask before he cracks open a Jentz.
Every day I expect to find a package on the porch, but not yet.[V]
Got the 503 off ebay (new) so it may take some time.
Also waiting on ‘Tiger I on the Eastern Front’ from Amazon…need this quick, it includes a Birthday gift for my wife.
Two more great memoirs have come out…
