Well within your reach. All you need are some comically large magnifying goggles, a few bending tools and hours of your time to fritter away. ;o)

The bug has got me Wolfy - my late Taigen Tiger is about to become "222" - the tank Wittman commandeered to attack Villiers Bocage in 1944.
Stencil set and a couple of parts winging over to me from Germany.

Looking forward to the next stage of your build.

Tiggr, everyone warned you. *chuckles* Have fun with your build. I will keep an eye out for it. ;o) Tonight, I completed Step 18 and made a solid start on 19 by assembling the Tamiya portion of the step. More PE to follow. Pics:

Sat down tonight after a run-run day and spent a couple of pleasant hours completing Step 19. Step 20 is the tool box and attaching all of the pieces from 19 to the rear plate. It will be time to do some detail painting as 20 winds up. Pics:

Sat down last night and completed Step 20. I decided to use the Tamiya Exhaust covers. The ABER pieces seemed a little too flimsy for something that is going to bear the risk of being backed into whatever scenery the tank is running through. In the future, Mike can install some Voyager pieces if he wants to go that route. Before I install all of these bits from the last few Steps, time for that painting I mentioned earlier. Pics:

Nice detail Painless.

Joe,
Thanks, Doc. This tank is going to be a runner for Mike. Extra detail only where I imagine it might survive a few outings.
regards,
Painless

Sat down tonight after the day had calmed summat and completed Step 20. A little detail painting after the coat(s) of Model Masters Dunkelgelb and some tiny screws then finally time to move onto the next bit o' Fun. Pics:

I'm not in the habit of appreciating toolboxes, Painless, but that one is just a bit special...much like the rest of this model!
Roy.

Good evening,
Kaiser, I definitely plan on doing an early Tamiya Tiger for myself once the waiting list of Builds I already have is completed. Roy, thank you. I mentioned this earlier. I usually dress up HL, MATO or Taigen with Tamiya parts. This time, I have to go a step further.
regards,
Painless

Began Step 21 today and threw in the primer, shadow and paint for the deck. Pics:
