Thanks Alan,

This is my first attempt with a 1/16 RC model, and its only now, that I realize how much work goes into one of these builds. I have been on for about 6 months with this.

Cheers MadFox,

Martin, If I could get my tiger looking like yours, I would be well pleased, thats one superb looking tank. Outstanding paint/weathering and attention to detail. I have just base coated mine today with Tamiyas fine detail plastic/metal surface primer. Goes on nice. I have used the AB with a 50/50 Tam paint and Tam thinners and have managed to spray the wheels, they look pretty good. ;D ;D ;D  Had a shot at the camo pattern, now thats going to take me some practice to get it right. :( :( :( :( :(
