Tiger got primed with mahogany surfacer 1000
And started making a small companion for him … maybe I’ll do some small vignette…

I shall be a nitpicker now….
This kind of Tiger had positions for 3 antennas, but only 2 would be used. The chassis could fit only 1 radio, See “Command Tiger antennas”.
This photo shows an unused position.

Thanks David, I will remove one antenna at the end ( if both survive 
).
First colour applied - Hataka C244 Dunkelgelb with few drops of lighter tone.
Strange thing that same mixture looks completely different on Kubelwagen (the only difference was primer - black on Kubel, Mahogany on Tiger)

Great work, John! Very nice Tiger!

First patterns of olive grun applied. I must say that Takom’s painting instructions aren’t particularily user friendly… Small pics, bad visibility and missing top down view, so I had to improvise here and there.

David this is also a good photo for showing the thickness of the Zimmerit.

Continuing my struggle with Takom’s instructions I’ve used some RC864 to improvise rotbraun camo . Kubel also got same colours in as I had airbrush already loaded up

Thank you
Decals added. They adhere good with Micro Set+Sol , but the 007 numbers on side of turret and one cross warped a little bit, I’m wondering if it could happen because I pressed them too much after applying Sol … Also - Registration numbers for Kubel are made of two parts each, it was impossible to me to align them properly.

Speaking of deadlines, how are folks doing? Anyone need a little extra time?

I must admit… sitting over Christmas cheescake that personally I’d prefer to have a bite more… erghm… I mean few days, maybe a month more?

The interior and engine of the Sturmtiger took longer than expected, so I would also appreciate another month. I still have the hand painting of the ambush camouflage left.

I think I can finish my Tiger next week, but if you can extend it would great for everyone.
I’m still going to work on mine next weekend, no matter which deadline…
I have a ton of other projects to work on.

An extension would give me time to finish mine now I’m back in country. I have decals on now, so weathering and final assembly of sub assemblies to go.
