Dragon 1/35 Tiger 1 "Wittmann's command Tiger"

Post by Rathalos »

Hi guys, back with another video showcase of my Dragon 1/35 Tiger-1.
This is the first ever tiger I have built, and I have to say it was a pleasure, even if Dragons instructions seem a bit unclear at times. The kits quality outweighs every other factor though, as the fit, mouldings, and overall finish is fantastic. I think I could have done a better job at painting, but hey... it turned out satisfactory so I'm pleased.
Here is the video showcase

Thanks for stopping by!

The tank is very nice, you did a great job...very clean build and paint job.
BUT
I have two questions/remarks:
- are you sure it had three-tone camouflage? If yes, have you some reference?
- Wittmann's S04 was famous for the kills painted on the main gun barrel... what period should your tank represent, prior or after 88th kill?

I'll be honest I'm not an expert on the subject, so I just followed the Dragon painting sheet, and there was a choice between having a white coat or not, and I decided I didn't want to do the white wash (too technical for me) so the scheme I did was - September 1943 Reggio-Italy the three tone camouflage. Sorry I cant really find too much information on the tank at this period of time, or any sources.
Anyways Thanks for the support :cheers2:
