my tiger1

Post by higonokami »

nice to meet you.
My name is higonokami and I'm a new member.
This is a tiger1 that I bought half a year ago.
Before joining this forum, I created this using various references.
I'm still working on it, but I'll finish it once.
I want everyone to see it.

For once, I have to agree with my idiot Brother. The weathering is very subtle and realistic, and you obviously took time in the building process - even the smoke dischargers are wired.

Heyyy ya made it to this group!

I saw and made a comment on your post on the Facebook "1/16 rc tank group" 4 days ago. You've done some excellent detail work.

If I remember correctly you mentioned in our messages that this tank is a Taigen lower and Heng Long upper?

Nice work. Feel free to share the details.

Indeed, higonokami, that is fine, fine weathering work. Well done! To be sure, we could learn from any details you can offer. Then, too, I am told here in the desolate and cold upper midwest of the US that the hobby stores in Japan and superb, having all kinds of kits and supplies available. Is that so? Do you have a favorite?

Oh really! Thank you very much for your support here.
The chassis is TAIGEN and the hull is henglong.
Your build will also be a great learning experience!
Thank you❗
