Tamiya 1/35 Tiger1 Late version

[muskegman]

Something a bit different from the aircraft I usually build. This is my first attempt at a tank.

Built out of box with no extras. Zimmerit done with Milliput putty and a screwdriver tip filed to 5mm width as per instructions. This is the first time I have ever attempted zimmerit, thanks to Coens very imformative how to video on youtube I managed to pick up some tips, thanks for that great video Coen Painted with a hairy stick using Humbrol enamels, Modelmaster, Testors and Vallejo paints. I used Pledge Klear to set the decals and Micro-Sol for the decals. Also for the first time I tried Tamiya's Weathering pastels for some rust , soot and oilstains. I also used Daler Rowney oil paints to make a dusty wash. Sealed everything with Testors Dullcoat.

Lots of firsts for me on this one so please go easy on me


















Thanks for looking

I did the camo by hand with a hairy stick and then a couple of coats of thinned dark yellow over the top just to lightly cover the camo
