Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

You'd think I've had enough!

Soooo as it says on the box it's the early version, unlike the other two which are late, while the kit is very similar to the Revell the plastic feels slightly different and seems to take paint better. The early Tiger had a rubber rim on the road wheels, so I'm having to paint that on before assembling the wheels (9x3 per side) but at least I've got the confidence to do stuff like assemble the rear plate while stuff is drying.

It's got the same track system, but I've an idea of what I'm doing now so fingers crossed.

Used my airbrush for the first time today, liked it a lot need a bit more experience before using it on bigger stuff.

That’s a professional looking set up bud.

I use Mr Hobby primer from Japan. It’s lovely. I also use Halford’s grey car primer.

I’m experimenting with an AK chipping solution on my current build. I’ll keep you posted as I’ve not used it before.

Thanks, it took me a while to get my head round being able to glue them up and then bending to shape, I'm not used to glue that works 😂
