Put a Tiger in Your Tank! - Tiger Build Thread

Matt & Ryan, that’s a good idea on the chrome book instead of PC. I’ll have to consider.

Johnny & Tim, I have to admit I’m not too excited about painting the 1970 Tamiya Tiger. However, it would be sort of fun to build the newer 1997 #35216 Tamiya early Tiger 1, paint it and have the old & new kits sidy by side on the display shelf.

Randy sweet! Sounds good.

Speaking of PE, I had to tidy up the hobbyroom today. Had the 1997 #35216 Tamiya early Tiger 1 kit out and carefully looked it over…

…I nearly screamed :scream: because another set of that old On The Mark Tiger 1 Photo-Etch was in the bottom of the box!

Pretty sure he’s talking about being faced with doing his 3rd set of On The Mark Tiger Photo-Etch.


Hopefully, by mid February can start the paint work. Will be on a road trip for a little while. After 29 years of not working on a Tiger 1 kit, it feels good to have the construction wrapped on this one.

I’d planned to take a Sherman kit to build but I can hear #35216 calling…or was that #35146?
