Hi daktari - and a happy new year!

Simply amazed at how much you have achieved in so little time.

The paint job looks very fine - I've almost lost sight of how mine will look with a paint job...

And I want your shed - I've been elbowed off the modelling / kitchen table by my boys' own modelling projects!

Good Afternoon,
Very striking paint job there, Daktari. It effectively breaks up the outline of the Tiger which is what was wanted when camo jobs were originally ordered for these massive and blocky vehicles.
regards,
Painless

Well done on the paint job, has a 1944 Normandy look to her. Some weathering, decals and you'll be done. Your a whole lot faster with your build. Have fun...
