She's not lookin too tired anymore.

Very nice revision. Good work on the unit number. I'm sure the zimmerit didn't make painting them on easy.

Hi Adam, great build. I'm modifying my Tamiya Tiger 1 to mid production after many years out of the hobby. I can't find the sprocket covers you showed on MK Modellbau - do you have a link?
Thanks, Chris

Forgot to add the finished photos to the build here :)

Got round to finishing and taking some photos of my Tamiya Mid Tiger I.

Enjoy :)

An exceptional Tiger! You should be proud of that one.

Excellent Tiger! Inspires me to get mine out and drive it about the living room floor a bit.
