If I remember correctly the Armortek Tiger Hull is pretty much built in the same way as the Germans built their Tanks. The only thing missing on an already great model was the weld lines. East Coast Armory do regular builds on YouTube & John adds weld lines to every Tank he builds. He ends up with Museum quality Models through his attention to detail & Marco is certainly heading in same direction. As much as i'd want a 1/6th scale Tiger Tank , the Armortek Tiger is the only i'd consider keeping if I could afford one, the attention to detail is awe inspiring.

Nah, way too many differences since 131 is an 'early' model and this one happends to be a 'mid'-production Tiger. ;-)

Haven't decided on any markings at all, so far!

Now that I'm getting used to all these nice working parts in 1/6, how can I ever work in 1/16 ever again! :-P

Last but not least a BIG shootout for my friend Alexander for his very hard work on making these C-Hooks look like a lot more like C-hooks! THANKS!

All undecided yet... Not even sure if I want camo... So in love with this color!

I think the number will be fictional. Haven't decided on using decals or painting/stencilling them on. Stencils in 1/6 are expensive!

Built a little platform because it was missing...

Found a little angled piece in the spare-parts I got with the Tiger and figured out what it was! Luckily I had some tool-clamps left!

Upper left an excellent example of a fellow forum-member here! Tried to replicate that. Unfortunately the letters are too small and I used too much superglue...
