After much debate and I finally decided to tear down my stock HL Tiger I and give it a nice custom paint job and fix a few issues I have noticed with the operation of the stock model so far. I original bought the S&S Tiger I with the intentions of heavily modifying it but soon realized after purchasing an Asiatam chassis Mato metal tracks, road wheels, and some Mato 3:1 brass gear boxes that I really would eventually end up with two tanks. I was also torn between a DAK paint scheme and a 13th Pnz Div "Kursk" camo pattern I had found. I decided to build the Asiatam chassis in the 'Kursk' scheme as a full option Elmod equipped IR tank battle model and to paint the HL model with a DAK scheme.
At any rate I stripped out the stock gear set yesterday so I decided to get started. I tore it down removed the antenna tube from the left side, removed the warning light from the canon mantlet, installed a convoy light on the rear left of the chassis, removed a couple of fenders and worked on some simulated combat damage. I then laid down a base coat and I'm going to let it cure over night and then plan to apply my first coat of paint which would be Dark Yellow tomorrow
Here are a few pics of the HL Tiger I broken down with the 'Rustolium' flat brown enamel applied as a base coat. I'll add pics as it progresses.
,i will keep trying my skills
