Tiger late production

Acki
Started this Tiger some weeks ago. Let´s see how it ends. To be continued...

Count me in for this one Acki.....I see that Tamiya has changed the lower hull, I have the DAK Tiger from Tamiya and it has a metal lower hull.....

John Dunbar
What are those metal tubes in the lower hull?

Acki
The lower hull comes in plastic. Those parts are weights.

Hanno Kleinecke
Very nice chipping effect on the exhaust covers ! What is the extra weight needed for ?

Acki
I have no idea Hanno. All kits from Tamiya in 1/48 have a heavy lower hull. Most of them have a metal lower hull. Wim wrote that his DAK Tiger has one. My Cromwell has also one. Glad that you like the chipping.

John Dunbar
Ah, ok. 🙂

Acki
Added some pics. First try with my new airbrush.

Wim van der Luijt
Looking Good! What airbrush did you switch to? I really like the chipping on the exhaust covers

Acki
Thanks Wim! Mike told me to buy this one and I did. 🙂 Very good gun!

very nice one... i just love the 48th afv's from tamiya! people tend to ignore them, i don't know why. they especially seem to dislike the weight - but i think it is an excellent idea, gives the model the needed "feel". i used to put heavy weights into my 35th scale models, too 🙂
