These have to be the “plainest” Tiger variant of all. Looks good!

That was the draw for me on this build.

One of the few things I remember about my conversion done many years ago was the base kit was a Tamiya Tiger I initial version, I plugged a million holes in the hull and turret with Evergreen rods and I used over half of a big bottle of Mr Surfacer on the project.

Things have sure improved model wise

Painted the kit using a mixture of Tamiya flat red and hull red to get a nice primer red.
I’d show a photo but the camera makes it looks like a bright red lollypop.

Wheels painted with Mission paints.

I was out with an old girl friend a week or so before Christmas, and when I took her home we passed a house in a well to do neighborhood that had one in the from upstairs window! I even drove around the block to show it to her. Then I told her that these folks were her neighbors. Good laugh between us!

do you spray the Mission paints strait out of the bottle, or do you thin it? If you do thin it, what ratio and also what do you use?

I sprayed this color right out of the bottle.
