Thanks for that. This is his 'mid' Tiger. His early was 213, which I now have the decals for. I've been hesitant about the winter camo, but I'll stick to
it I think.

Can't believe I missed it.

So, Mr Estnische, where can I get that red skull figure? Who produced/marketed it?

Mick.

Thanks for the enthusiasm guys. Apologies for lack of progress. I have some other hobbies that have been producing income if I meet deadlines, so they have had priority.

Doesn't help that I am fearful of screwing up the paint job...

Is that MK1 cortina a revel one?

Mick.
No, it's Scaley. But the wheels are off an Escort. I have a Revell too - worst slot car I have - all motor and falls over in corners.

Just give it a coat of Dunkelgelb, Estniche..( Like Tiger 131). Given the Standard of work here, it's highly unlikely you'll make a crap dauber. :thumbup: I can understand Life's other diversions, though :problem:
Here's Johann's failed attempt at a Tiger Paint Job :O :
