Nice , looking forward to the pics.
She's a good looking Tiger.

Thanks Aussie.

Some progress made, a few more jobs to to:
Feifel hoses to be changed
Stickers to get a coat of matt varnish
Gun metal paint for wear on hatches, etc.
Beier sound module to be ordered and fitted.

But pics so far.....

Paul the decals look excellent love the kill rings

Has made the Tiger look 100% better tiggr a nice addition to your regiment

I've done a little more work on the latest Tiger.
I'm not sure about the water slide stickers - there is a bit too much satin sheen on them - I had to apply matt varnish over the top, but the kill rings on the barrel just aren't good enought, you can tell its a transfer.

That said I'm pleased with the overall look of the tank.

I had the same problem with kill rings on my Tiger hense I removed them, I seen on Rctank.De a set of stencils for spraying them on, I'm going to get them and have a go anyway

Try dry brushing , VERY LIGHTLY , some brown dusty type colour over them to tone down the shininess a bit.

Apparently, the kill rings were painted on Wittman's "S04" tank (in winter camo) as a propaganda exercise, they were then removed again as Wittman didn't want anything that would make his tank a "preferred" target.

I'm claiming artistic license and pig ignorance ....

Tiger "205" is still my favourite, probably because it has TK24 onboard and a recoiling barrel.....
The Maybach engine start up (the hand cranked version) with the rumble to life is just excellent.

I recall reading on another post that the HL £Frog eye" headlights can be ground down so that a proper slit eye cover can be fitted.

How many millimeters can you grind off safely in order to fit the cover ?
