That is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had your soldering skills/eyesight/fingers to be able to pull of all that brass detailing. As others have said it's almost a shame to paint it. I'm sure the finished Tiger will be stunning

Thank you all for your kind words and praise.
I am sure everybody on this site is capable of doing what I have done, I don't have fingers I have tree trunks and my arms are no longer long enough for me to read the newspaper.

I would just like to point out that all my tanks are runners, this one has all the Tamiya internals and is battle capable, however if I ever got back into battling I would take my Mid Tiger1 as it has battle system built in.

Just Nope, not me by a mile. Regardless of my limited patience...

My sentiments exactly. I couldn't fathom taking this work and running it wild or bashing it your way Mr. Rat.
