discussion Si-B’s Revell 1:72 Tiger

[Si Benson]

Morning folks,

Here is a little project I’ve been tinkering away at in between other builds. It’s not quite finished yet but thought I’d share anyway.

My scratch building skills are not exactly brilliant but I’m enjoying myself.
I added a set of PE zimmerit and a replacement barrel.











Once the bench is less active I’ll make a simple base for it and weather it.
Thanks for looking
Si

mmm...that looks nice chap! Well done!

Cheers

Looks superb to me, cracking model in braille scale.

Si,
Very nicely done. I can only just manage scratch in 35 so I really appreciate the skill to do that in braille scale.

Hi Si
Looks good. Very impressive for braille scale. I have a 1/72 tiger in the stash earmarked for the upcoming GB of animal named stuff. Hope I can get near this on quality.

Your little Tiger looks great Si, neat those damaged mud flaps :thumb2: :thumb2: .
Looking forward to the base:smiling:.

Very nicely done Si - looks bigger than 1/72.

 

[Si Benson]

Thanks very much gents. I enjoyed tinkering around with this tiny beast, so I’m glad you all like it:smiling4:

the Zimm PE set was an excellent fit and worth the money as was the metal barrel.

Great job. PaulE

Cant beat a mini Tiger. The PE and scratchery make it stand out. A very nice finish with the camo. Was it a good kit?? Hope you get a chance to do the base

 

[Si Benson]

Hi Steve,
Glad you like:smiling4: As with most of the braille scale Revell kits, it builds up nicely and will look like it’s supposed to without tweaks.
There are some chunky bits that benefit from modifying but on the whole I would say it’s not bad at all:thumb2:

Sorry I missed this Si, brilliant certainly doesn't look 1/72 :flushed: :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

 

[colin m]

That looks quite splendid, especially given its tiny scale.

Nice job Si are we still waiting for weathering and base? Dave

Yup :smiling5:
Maybe one day....too much plastic to stick together first before the reaper comes for me
