Tamiya 1/35 Tiger I Early Production

Hi all, sharing my Tiger I build from Japan before going into paint.

This one has a few scratch modifications:

  • Track sag using tissue paper + CA glue
  • Hand-dyed gauze camouflage net
  • Custom wire rope with drilled fittings
  • 0.5mm copper sheet headphone arm on the commander figure
  • Wire foliage on the hull
  • Epoxy putty tarpaulin draped over the turret

Still pre-paint at this stage — planning to go into base coat next.

Happy to answer any questions on the scratch work!
