Tiger I in France

In 50 years of modelling this is only the second Tiger I I have ever built. It's the Tamiya "Mid-Production" version with their own indy link tracks. I got it in a raffle so I splurged on Tamiy's zimmerit set and a RB barrel.
Cables are picture wire using the kit's cable ends. Everything else is scratchbuilt or from a leftover PE set.
She's going into primer as we speak.

looks great - love the scratchbuilding to bring the Tamiya tiger up a notch and that zimmerit looks very good too.
i have this kit and the zimmerit package in the stash and hope to get to it this year!

Looks great so far nice job
I have built a similar kit and the Tamiya Tigers although not on par with dragon, are pretty decent for the price. Can't wait to see this thing painted up

Nice work so far! Look forward to seeing what colour scheme you are going to use.

Thank you all!
She's in primer as we speak. I begin my work week tonight so it may be a bit before I post updates.
Chris this is an oldy but a goody. Builds fast even with the zimm.
Noob she certainly looks the part even in primer.
Nige she'll be in a yellow/green/brown scheme typical of 1 SS sPzAbt in Normandy. Heavy on the green and brown.
