Last year I painted this Tiger 1 with not a great pain job certainly not a realistic camo scheme,so I've just blown it over in Dark yellow until I find camo I like, but I've now added a taigen metal lower hull on it ,a full metal wheel set and metal tracks ,so it's turned into a heavy weight .

Andy a splendid job as always. The dark yellow does look good without any camo added. :thumbup:

Professional work, Andy. The painting and shading looks great, I can't believe you've only been doing it for a year! A real inspiration, for sure.

Sure does look good as a team.................

Got one gripe though mate...........can you please rotate the muzzle brake on the PzIV or I will jump your fence & rearrange the paint pots in your workshop into a non numerical sequence !!!

Good morning!
Spartan, it is a beaut! ( now before we set Herman on you again, fix those HL 'frogeye' headlights with a touch of sanding and a blackout cover )
regards,

Good morning again,
I get mine by buying the relevant Tamiya sprue for the tank type. The sprues generally have lots of other cool detail parts on them as well. Other than that, Forgebear is your man or the folks at Welsh Dragon or Dominique at RCTank.de. It's a small detailing step that adds tons to the look of your armor.
regards,
Painless
