Global Scale Modeller

I decided to entry in a very late entry in this GB , with a small build of a Tiger I early production depicting a unit of the 2nd Pz Regiment in Kursk , also I will add a Sdkfz 232 recon vehicle and try to do a small diorama using two kits from Tamiya in 1/48 scale





I started this two days ago ...

the sprues bagged in the box (Tiger I early production)



Die cast Hull , usual in 1/48 kits from Tamiya











The fun begins ...whells lot of them

Fun also, to assembly the tracks , it brings a small tool in the sprues to help us to do tis,not to hard to do but something to do very carefull











then glue the upper hull and all the stuff , easy to folloew instructions







Tiger ready , go for the SFkfz

the box







More wheels on this one ...



Again if you follow instructions, a very easy and nice kit to do in some hours



Now I primed all with Tamiya Prier , and start painting dark yellow using Mr.Hobby Dark Yellow Modulation set

Looking good buddy, I've looked at the 1/48th stuff but never made any , maybe tempted to get a couple

Looking excellent, I love the idea you got going on here, I might have to combine a Tiger 1 with the Sd. Kfz. 232 in 1/35 scale. Definitely interested to see more.

This is looking excellent, well done, best of luck with the final stages

I left thi tread some days ago doing the painting on the vehicles , now I added the dark Green Camo





Some figures that I have around , the left box was new , just bought it for some diorama and never used , the other I used it almost all in a diorama , still some Panzer crewman will do the job here



assembled them and place them on the Tiger ...will be something like this



also prepared a small base , a photo frame and some poliesterene , will do the job ...



Some textured plaster



painted the figures all Tamiya paints



Also the SDkfz commander ...



Some Greens , flowers and bushes will do the vegetation



This base is small and even I thought to do now only one vehicle ...





Some ideas on the display ...





Decals ...



This Tiger has some Chinese carachters in his markings ...lucky charm , or some influence on the tank commander who seems to have a wife/Girlfriend Chinese ...don't know how true this is or not







Added the steel cables on the armour









Some oils wash ...I will not do it very dirty , maybe some Buff later to depicy dust ...





and next will be the Final reveal Thread ...

Always amazes me to see how much and how good you build looks great mate. Merry Christmas
