Space Ace are nice, just some silly flash to clean up on.

Masterclub early tracks on the top and below them are a couple of Masterclub links (left side) next to Spade Ace links from the mirrored set

Incredible work; the finished product looks amazing! I love the winter camouflage :thumb2: All those tiny PE details really added so much detail to this beast :D

Good morning Gents,

Thank you so much for the thumbs up! This particular Tiger is possibly my favourite Tiger due to those bins and I am glad you like the end result.
Mind you, it was almost ruined when the hairspray started "eating" it's way through the base coat. I then realised that the HS I was using had alcohol and I use alcohol to thin my Gunze paints.

Now, I know! haha

Fantastic work mate. Love the turret bins on the side. The Tiger also reminds me of a Centurion. Because of the turret bins I suppose.

Thank you! So far, that's the only Tiger we have photo evidence with those turret bins and in that essence, it is a unique beast

Great idea for a simple conversion project based on your research. I would love to make one in 1:72 scale. I´m not a scratch builder, but this should be feasible with some plastic cards. Brackets can easily be made from PE frets. :thumb2:
