Fantastic work Martin. A stunner.

Going for 28 Euros - a veritable snip (tailoring pun intended!)

I am just about ready to start painting my Takom late production Tiger I. Tomorrow during my lunch break I have the tow cables to attach as well as the fenders. The exhausts and guards will be done separately so I can rust the exhausts themselves and then put them on before applying the second camo color. Some gaps to fill and a few other bits to adjust before the primer goes on. Also need to cut a suitable size base and get that ready.
That being said, the tracks are a chore and I really hate attaching the teeth. I am definitely going to look for the cheapest alternative that doesn’t require that step. Any good 3D/resin that fits Takom that won’t cost more than the kit itself?
I started the build on 1/24 and I think I can finish by weekend after next - my job has a 4-day weekend then. At this rate, I might toss in another 3-5 Tigers in.
I assume the Tiger I (P) and Bergepanzer Tiger (P) are allowed being the same chassis? That leaves me with 7 regular to choose from plus the Sturm. When I get on a roll I like to roll as far as the time allotted will let me.

With my RFM kit, I also need to attach the teeth separately. Not looking forward either. I will look how the first couple will go. If not satisfactory, I will have to resort to Friuls too. Hopefully the sprockets will fit.

The model I selected for this campaign has individual track teeth.
Attaching individual track teeth is definitely an exercise in patience. I cue up a good audio book, history documentary, or podcast, start working, and often complete a whole track run in a single long session.

Started work on the crew first before the star of the show this time around to avoid “fatigue” (aka frustration and bin).

Excellent. Where did the crew come from?

Very nice work Martin! Wish I could do faces that well! I have just about finished assembly on mine, just some minor bits and the tracks to do before prime and paint.

Good ol’ Tamiya Wehrmacht Tank Crew. It had a few figures crouched looking at a map, which I wanted for a potential small diorama

I’ve been busy with the tracks.
At first I used the amount of links the instructions said, but a test fit shows that they are way too long. Then I removed one link from one of them, or at least: I tried to. Eventually to came off. No problem, but I wonder: what is better 2 off.
Or 1?

I found out yesterday that the takom instructions leave them 1 short

Yes, I found that when assembling the tracks on the Mid version. I had to trim one piece to fit; apparently you have to make them all spaced equally apart or you’ll end up with a little too much or too little room.
