Tiger S33; Another

[Pcomm1]

Hello,

This 2004 Tiger IE was my first Tamiya tank and it is still running strong. I deleted the head lamps, smoke launchers and mud flaps per photos I saw of the real panzer in the book Tigers in Combat.

Nice looking tank john
I have split your post from my topic because you deserve a show off topic of your own

Nice choice of camo, not one you see to often

Hi BREL and Keith,

Thank you (didn't think this effort was all that deserving of a thread of its own) and I used a little 1/72 Scale Dragon Tiger IE panzer for the color – camo pattern idea. Don't know how accurate Dragon's camouflage interpretation is, but the model looks OK running outdoors.

Thanks, I find the WWII German Armored Forces Unit Symbols almost as interesting as their panzers:

not a problem john as I said I thought your S33 tiger deserved it's own show off thread because you have done a fantastic job on it

Tiger Commander and TBU placement.

A little online model exposure and one thing seems to lead to another after posting Tiger S33. It is now transferred to a new unit.

Build it and paint well and you'll get your investment back from the Tamiya WWII rc tank kits (as long is your building the very popular German big cats, LOL).

Thank you forum. John
