:clap: WOW that is gorgeous!!! :clap: The before picture looks like it's from the Voyager site itself.

Great work man! Oh and I would be very pleased to see the progress pics of the Tiger.

What tools did you use on those etch pieces? I might need some for the kits I'm working on now.

Thank you very much!
And I will post the pics of the tiger soon!

For P/E I use a scalpel nife and a hard plastic board. I don't use a cutting mat for its to soft and will bend the pieces when cutting.
Bending the pieces I use a hold and folt from the small shop. Little pieces I fold with a flat nosed pliers and tweezers.
For glue I use CA medium from ZAP

I'm not going to give a comment to each photo for I know that you guys know what I did.
If not, feel free to ask :thumb2:

Just sit back, and enjoy the ride... :dance:

WoW, awesome stuff, being a relative PE novice looking at the detail on those hatches and the folding on the 222 has my head spinning lol, great work. As Paul says it looks so good on a bare tank its almost a shame to paint over it lol.
There can be only one!
Unless your building two, or three, or four - ah to hell with it.

Thank you! Yeah it was almost a shame to paint it over.
It was really awesome to build this one, and I liked the "heavy metal" look too!
Maybe I will build another one and just leave the P/E shine on the bare model!
Still got a Marder III Ausf M on the bench with a lot of Photo Etch...
