Tamiya Tiger I Russia 1943

Post by Ad Lav »

Gave the Japanese Tiger a well deserved repaint and uplift in detail.

Now represents a Tiger I Russia 1943.

A bit of artistic flair with the heat proif barrel and using the Chinese lettering but I like it.

Enjoy.

Adam simple and effective. I have always admired the replacement barrel paint look and the use of the two colored camoflouge looks fantastic :clap:
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Hey Adam,

Great job on this born again beast. Hard to believe she's the same tank as the Japanese giant.

The heat resistant barrel and the simple but effective camo scheme strike the right note. Nicely done.

Thank you Ralph, I'm quite pleased with the end result. Not too dirty and muddy, subtle just the way I like it.
