Update! Managed to get the base coat and camo done on three sides.

NO weathering yet and the green is darker than it looks, but weathering should knock it down a bit.

Should I use the kit decals or buy aftermarket stencils for Tiger S33?





Also managed to get the Panzer IV with Winterketten and M51!

Thinking I might redo the paint job as I ran into an issue with the camo. More pictures to come.

Good morning!
HaHa!, it is a Beauty of a Tiger 1. Don't let these grubby sorts get to you, the German tankers were out every week washing and painting their tanks when they were not in actual combat. Those machines were the difference between living and dying to them and they made sure that they were running efficiently to the very best of their sometimes limited ability.
regards,
Painless

Thanks everyone! Yes, I did not weather this one too much, but I like how it came out.

I have a M51 and KV-1 with Impact Tracks but cannot decide which one to do first! HAHA.
