Tamiya Tiger 1 refresh
Posted: Sat May 09, 2020 2:41 am
Hello all , it’s been a while since I have posted anything. So since I’m stuck here at home like everyone else, I have been redoing my tiger 1. I have had it about 5 yrs and am the 3rd owner. It was just basic grey and pretty well used when I got it.
It’s a full option model with the battle system. I decided to go for a yellow 502 Panzer div look with light to moderate wear.
I have been hard at work adding the details and got a basic first coat down. I am trying to do a little modulation but the airbrush is not my friend yet so it’s slow going. But I am improving, it’s also my first real attempt at weathering I am just starting that phase just going slow and experimenting.
I got some of the front wheels that are missing the outer road wheel from Sassgrunt (thanks a million Mike) and began experimenting with weathering them also
So I think a little more airbrush work and then as weathering supplies arrive I am gonna get a little grimy.
So this is where I am now. Feel free to let me know if I have missed any obvious details and if you have any thought or tips on weathering I would love to hear them. I am reading and watching YouTube videos on the subject.
Hope all are well. Cheers Mark
