Great start buddy. The wheels and the rear plate are the trickiest parts to build. So far so good :clap:

Clever boy!
I'm liking the looks of those fuel cells, those are really cool colours Jermaine.

Thanks Mike, I sign all of my work. Every model I have done has my signature somewhere within.

Have you glued the turret roof on yet or is it just friction fit?

Its just dry fit on at the moment. I got the bible now so this build should start picking up now I hope. :banana:

125.00 which I consider a great price these days. I'm really amazed with the info in that book. I have no regrets buying it and everything you guys said about it was spot on and its a real gem!

125 is a fair price considering. I've seen it go for a lot more, so well done!

Looking good Jermaine. I like the look of the zimmerit - this should look really great in paint. So, now you have the bible and you won't be conferring with us anymore? Well! (as Jack Benny would say).

Keep it up - want to see more!

Your build looks like it is coming along nicely. Signature is a nice touch. Also would be good if they would print another run of the tiger bible. Keep up fine work. :th:

It may be your first time, but it looks pretty good. Those tow cables will be "fun" to attach.

The camo that was used on Will Fey's Tiger is one of my favorites
I tried it some years back on a Tiger and it is one of the last "old" kits that i didn't strip and paint over
Great work on your build
Although it make me curious to see what you will do with the weathering
The tank has a lot of color besides the dark yellow and i find that heavy camo vehicles are thougher to weather in terms of wash colors and chipping
Looking forward for some more
