Tiger 1 paint and weathering

Post by combatsmurf »

Here is a Heng Long Tiger 1 which i painted and weathered for a friend, and subsequently inspired me to dust off the paint box after a long break from the hobby.....i dunno what i,ve been missing. 1/16th WW2 German armour with full R/C and sound and wot not for less than a hundred coins of the relm, you could only get £500 Tamiya stuff last time i entered a model shop.Any comments welcome.

Thanks Ice, i reckon he's going to sell it to me now, as hes already broken it.Hopefully i'll get it cheap as chips and its probably just a simple wiring fix.

Excellent work, really like the weathering. The details stand out really well, like the Hinges on the Mud guards and the brackets of the fenders. Really like this Tiger, Sax
