Well done, the paintwork is accurate and seems to be very well applied. Did you use Tamiya paints or some other brand?

Yes i used tamiya paints, was a while ago cant remember the numbers!

Not Yet painted the tracks, can anybody recommend the best way off doing this. Was thinking of spraying them with humbrol matt black then weathering them. But was concerned about the spary getting into the track pins etc.

Thanks,
Robbie

That's how I'm doing my tracks. Grey primer, matt black, then a light spray of light earth for a muddy look. Then a little rust and some silver on the edges for the scraped look.
I suppose any paint on the pins will wear off the moving parts and wont cause a problem.
I think. :S

Nice tiger. :thumbup:

I sprayed and weathered with pastels and sealed with clear matt laquer. No problems with links or pins.
