Re: Tiger ausf. B 222
I see my message has not got through, Do not use masking tape,
it is the enemy of 1/16 modelling, Use LOW TAC tape,
Masking tape is great if you want to spray your car but the glue is far too strong in our workshop, The message is in the title LOW TAC it is perfect for all kinds of modelling including on Foamies,I found out the hard way when I Masked a 1/8 DHC2 Beaver Foamie, It took off the paint and started to take the skin of the Foamie off,
I used LOW TAC after and it was great.

I think I am about to upset someone

Yes, sometimes tapes are too sticky. This time it was my fault, i could hide led inside barrel instead taping it, now i have to solder tiny wires.

Re: Tiger ausf. B 222
Great looking tank! I know you were initially concerned about the ambush dots, but I did a very rough count on the green band on the turret side and compared it to a count on the b&w photo. You're within a couple, and more importantly, yours are variable in size just like the original. Well done!
Tools add a nice bit of subdued colour to it as well. Impressive KT!

Thanks a lot, I should have count those dots, a specially this real photo taken before tank was repainted was very sharp and dots were clearly visible.

Well done, kapalek! To mention just one of the good features: the sagging cables are quite credible.

Towing cables are made from 2mm speakers wires, the are gretat cause they look realistic and are copper made which makes them very flexible.
Re: Tiger ausf. B 222
Well Done,just Soo Well Done!
Now my hair would hurt just attempting the ambush dots let alone counting them
