hi mate.
i gave it about six coats with about 20 too 30 Min's drying time between each coat i know its a long process but well worth it.
i gave everything a good coating except the suspension arms..............cheers oz 

Do you plan on matting it down? Its quite shiny, lol  If so, what do you use for that?

  OZ,I have searched many sites but no tanks with that type of camo,the Idea came from an archieve note about paint delivered to GROSSDEUSCHLAND 13REG.with their first Tiger1.TheY received a lighter gray due to thinning and a smaller amount of white.Now the TIGERS were delivered in standard dark gray so I considered the 2-shade gray/white outlined camo scheme.

hi sax.
have you had a look in the camo patterns section theres plenty of early tigers with winter camo applied, my personal view is just coz there isn't a pic doesn't mean it didn't happen,especially with winter camo,s if you have an idea you like then go for it.

sorry its taken me so long to post anything but i,ve been working on the yellow camo, gonna put the wash through later looks a bit bright but that,ll tone down later, hi grim, for the matt varnish this is what i use, if you use this !DO NOT! use rubbing alcohol to thin it use car screenwash................oz.

oZ,I have the Elite Armor disc,and have downloaded the online books from CREEPING DEATH and researched many patterns and very much believe I will go for it because we really can't prove or disscount any camo pattern.That being said do you agree that I SHOULD apply the light gray camo over the dark gray and add the white outline.then the pastels,skip the light gray scribbling,then the clear coat?please advise sax

Great paint job Oz,

Without jumping the gun, do you put the Ronseal through the AB or is it brushed on ?

through the airbrush mate............oz

Thanks OZ,I shall give it a go.sax

when you do the washes make a oil paint mix of 10% black and 90% burnt umber, put this around all bolts rivets screws any sharp angles and raised detail, leave it to dry for about 24 hrs then take a piece of lint free cloth (i use an old tee shirt ) and dampen it with turps or white spirits and lightly wipe this over the likes of the detail on the cupola to take off any excess wash that is lying on top of the detail ( remember dampen not soak ) use a relatively small brush to apply the wash and take your time.............oz
