Well, I have finally completed the Tamiya Tiger I received for Xmas from my wife. It has lots of add-ons/upgrades - metal exhaust and shrouds, metal rear flaps and tow eyes, metal cables and cable holders, scratch built cleaning rods, Impact early tracks, gear downs for scale speed and a Turnigy chip for enertia behavior, bearings in the road wheels and drive shaft, opening front hatches, etc. I used Tamiya acrylic paints and weathering sets and many tips from this and other forums.

Fabulous. That is how the Afrika Korps should look!

Nice looking tank you have there..On another note, (if you don't mind me asking) what type of camera did you use to take those pics.

As they are nice and clear with a good colour to them.

I just keep looking at this beauty..... It's all the little things that keep me coming back.

If the Devil is in the detail, then that Red B****** loves his tanks as well.

Thanks. I shot them with an Olympus E620 and a 40-150mm lens
