Fascinating texture possibilities in your acres of space! I can only imagine how gratifying it must be to be working in widescreen, rather than with thumbnails :sick: :haha:

Mounted the two engine deck hooks, needed some work.

Good afternoon,
I am enjoying every bit of this rebuild! Marco, your choices in redoing the parts, cleanup and priming and paint really are coming together. Following along ( since it is great to watch 'someone else' build a 1/6 scale tank ;o)
regards,
Painless

Not sure all those weld lines would of existed on a real Tiger 1 as lots of smaller parts were just bolted on, Even so looks great and welcome to 1/6 world.

So far I am basing my weldlines on almost 200 photos I took of Tiger 131 so my guess is they are pretty much right haha!

Will you eventually mark it 131? That would be very cool, and talk about easy reference material! 8)
