hi guys
so this is my last reveal in this group build
this one was the hardest of the 5 i have build (finished 4)
this is because i converted the standard late Tiger with zimmerit into a command version also known as a Befehlstiger
and not just any one , no i wanted a Wittmann Tiger
i am not sure if the camo is 100% right but i'm no rivetcounter
it says 007 on the side so i think it is Wittmann's tiger :lol: if you have another tiger with that number i still could think it is the same tank :tongue:

but this is the result of my messing around

and that is all i have for this build
i hope you like and here are 2 shots of the Tigers i made for this group build

from left to right they are :
initial production at Leningrad winter 1942/43
early production at Kursk July 1943
mid production at Malinovka late summer/fall 1943
late production at Normandy June/July 1944

thanks for stopping by and untill next time
cheers mark

Thank you very much Steve
I didn't dinish the 5th though as i need to repaint that one

Because you posted this one last it was the first one that I saw on the thread list.
Four out of five tigers in three months.... :eeek:
Massive amounts of awesome Mark. I'm thinking that there's a chance that you may like tigers more than I do... Or... Now you hate them to death haha.
All are wonderful pieces, this one included.
I'm off to see the others now.
Awesome work dude :th: :th: :th:

Thank you all very much gentlemen
They will go on bases some time soon
I just need to clear the bench wich is covered in paintbottles and weathering stuff
And i need to get some ideas for those bases as i want each Tiger in a different setting

This was amazing to watch Mark. I have 11 Tigers in the stash, but nowhere near the balls to make more than one at a time.

this makes me very happy indeed. 007 looks perfect to me.
