Post by Christopher »

Hello,
After all of the help this forum has provided, I thought I should post some pictures of my first build.

Beautiful Tiger. Love the outdoor poses. Although I don’t believe any external mounted fire extinguishers were painted red.

Hahahaha! Yes I’m sure they weren’t. It would have made an easy target. I liked the way it looked and thought it was funny.

Good Morning,
*Shares a love of red accessories* ( From way back in the modeling day ) If it makes you happy with your model, the brighter the better since the way I heard it was, "if the enemy is close enough to see that your axe blade or fire extinguisher is red, you've got much bigger problems"
regards,
Painless

A very nicely presented model in an excellent setting :thumbup: I just wish that Photobucket wouldn't ruin pics, by splashing its company stamp/logo all over the photos >:<

Since the colour of german extinguishers was touched upon, here's an example of the German type, I snapped in the Munster Museum (Deutsches Panzermuseum):

Thank you everyone for the kind feedback. Is there another way to post pictures besides photo bucket?
