Resurrecting an African Tiger
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2016 2:06 am
With all the great builds of Tiger 131 popping up, I decided to resurrect an old stalled build of mine. I got this painted and started the initial stages of weathering about one year ago. A mishap with the Fruil tracks set me off and I shelved this until yesterday.
New Fruils , a new outlook and away we go.
The hand hold unique to 131.
I made the track cables and tow cables from copper wire. Eduard PE completed the look.
New shoes.
Paint is the Mike Starmer formula for RAL 8000. I used Tamiya OD and Khaki 50/50, lightened with Buff for RAL 7008.
