Hey Patrick
The kit has some terrific detail, the weld seams are very nicely done by Dragon.
The model is coming on nicely and the crew will look excellent I'm sure when finished in the camo scheme.

Is this to be an Ardennes KT?

Cheers
Paul

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Looking good Patrick.

 

[Guest]

This Is coming along nicely Patrick those extras you get with it look good too.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Thats looking mighty fine

 

[Guest]

Thanks guys for your uplifting words!

Paul, I'm not sure about what camo scheme I want to do. I'd kinda like to go with the 'what-if' octopus scheme, but my choice of autumn crew uniforms has rather scuppered that one!

I might pick one from the fighting in Hungary circa late '44 to early' 45. Many of the SS units there removed the fenders & I like the look of a Tiger B without them.

 

[Guest]

Well, here's the crew with their camo finished. I'm happy with how it turned out. Just a bit of finishing left.

Nice work on the photo etch Patrick, loving the figures too matey.

Have fun, John

 

[Guest]

Nice work on the figures Patrick, the tracks look great as does the wheels and the photo etch.

 

[Guest]

Thanks people, I'm rather happy with the figures, although still got the faces to do still!

Got some paint on the tank. I'm going for the tricolour scheme, although without the dots.

The red oxide strips are where the fenders would have been before they were removed.

The paint job looks spot on so far Patrick

Thanks Col, the paint needs tidying up here and there mostly where it's virtually impossible to get the AB in without over-spraying other areas.

I never like it at this stage ; it's too stark until it's weathered!

Thanks Moni. I did the same thing before on my Jagdtiger, because I read somewhere that they had the fenders bolted on after the primer coat, but before the base colour / camo colours.

Really liking this Patrick
