J.E.T
Awesome looking Tiger you have there. Really nice finish. The Germans certainly had some great camo patterns. Does this one have the interior? I think I'll consider one of these.
What colors did you use by the way?
Kindest Regards
Harold aka 13Bravo

What colors did you use by the way? Kindest Regards Harold aka 13Bravo Thanks guys! This kit didn't have interior, the one they put out after this has it, and it would fit in this This kits comes with lots of photoetch, modelkasten tracks, fully functional suspension and rolling drivetrain. Lots of ammo rounds and detail on the inside of the turret walls For paint I mixed up craft paint and painted it over black and white pre shading. The green is actually artist oil thinned and airbrushed on, I painted the camo after the fact as I didn't know it had any lol. The instructions are wrong on the paint guide etc. |

Regards, Paul Those are the kit decals, they are pretty good and also have white outline number also. And a few logos. They only provide duplicates of each number so you can't make tanks like 111 etc. They are a bit thick I guess but I clearcoat with duplicolor between each layer of weathering so they are buried under 5 layers of clear plus flat varnish lol None of the reviews mention they include a bunch of extra bolt head detail, that is located on the sprue runners of each "D" sprue just wanted to mention so anyone that gets the kit doesn't over look them lol. |

I bought that same kit after reading about it on Track Link. They posted a build log that was really great to show you all the pluses and of course the minuses. One guy who is a shill for the lizard kept chiming in with extremely petty errors. I glad I ignored him and spent the $50!! I liked the kit so well that I rushed back over to the LHS, and bought a second one.
If you buy this kit, I highly recommend buying "The Tiger Tank Owners Manual" (think that's the title). The book is really based on Tiger #131, but is pretty close to the kit Tigers. I'm now wanting the Furman Tiger from RF.
I wish the kit came with a metal barrel, and a couple other odds and ends.

Hey man I think you did a fantastic job especially with an unproven kit. But you are going to fix that one issue right it's kind of stands out and really takes away from a perfect build. I cannot believe you missed that and I'm new here and can see it. I mean your work is like a fine piece of Germen Engineering compared to my as seen on tv skills. Just one fix it will be 100% perfect. Great job sir

One of my favourite series of tanks. 501 S.Pz.Abt/10th Panzer Divsion Tunisian tigers are super cool and I must say you did a bang up job on this one. Nice work and display.
Just curious though on the red numbers. This is RFM's interpretation of the first company's tank numbering? I believe some think the interior of the numbers were red while Dragon went with no colour on the inside of the numbers for their Tunisian Tiger.
