Default Tamiya Tiger 1 Build

Hi,

Attached are some pics of my tamiya tiger 1 build. Its my first 1/16 build(i bought a KT already built) and its taken me 3 years(about 100 hours to get this point). I often find that it can be a bit of learning curve and sometimes fustrating but i'm proud of what I have achieved and it was cool when it ran for first time!

My Tigers got following upgrades:

Impact metal tracks - these were really hard to link and weigh a ton. I realised when linked up that I had not snapped the suspsension in place and had to them take off( had to use wire cutter to pull out track link)! Spare links used for front hull tracks aswell
Schumo tow cable holders - the plastic one had to to be cut from hull and these filed down and attached to hull.
Schumo tow cables - wanted these as alot of tigers had these linked to tow shackles in a case of breakdown in combat
Schumo - tow shackles
Schumo - antenna
Schumo - rear mud guards
Schumo - cleaning rods

I then sprayed ts2 base mat blackcoat and Ts4 grey. Washes done with Mig panzer blue wash.
I am going to complete the turret this sumnmer and will be getting schumo muzzle/barrel.I've also got the impact metalelevation arm.

L ooks great except for the rust on the tracks. they don't do that, just get it runnin around and it will wear it off and look just fine. nice detail work.
