It's detail time.
Damned fiddly work.

Re: Panzer kaput! Tamiya Tiger 1 restoration.
More images coming soon. I really must finish the wiring for the smoke launchers and I have just received HL sprockets to replace the modified Tamiya set, those are in the paint shop and I've now got metal tow shackles and some more paint for details.
Metal tracks, grates and sort the lifting points she may be done.

Re: Panzer kaput! Tamiya Tiger 1 restoration.
I'm going to have to replace my deck hatch hooks as I buggered them prepping to fit grilles.
Does anyone have a decent image of these from forgebear please or a pair they don't need?

On the other hand, maybe a bodge will do.
Grilles done apart from a bit of touching up on the paint.

Re: Panzer kaput! Tamiya Tiger 1 restoration.
Those things are a pain in the bum to paint! I'd almost rather paint another entire tank.

A few progress images.
What is about the rear of these things? Brute beauty.

Re: Panzer kaput! Tamiya Tiger 1 restoration.
Can anyone please tell me if I need to erase the square anchor points for the Feifel scrubbers? Were they a feature or are they just a Tamiya thing?

They can stay mate, many vehicles that had were manufactured after the feifels were discontinued still had the mounts until quite a long time after the cut off date.
So you should be fine to leave them

Re: Panzer kaput! Tamiya Tiger 1 restoration.
I may be wrong but I believe it was Jarndice that commented that the most interesting view of a Tiger tank is it’s ass. I certainly agree. I’ve spent more time effort on the stern end more than any other surface of my tank.

Here’s a gratuitous butt picture.
