Album image #9
Had to update the rear deck because of the time period this Tiger was created according to The Modeller's Guide to the Tiger Tank book. 
 

Album image #10
View of the pe side fenders. 
 

Album image #11
Modified MG barrel. The barrel was supposed to fit into the plastic barrel body, but I replaced it with brass tubing. 
 

Album image #12
This Tamiya kit has a cast-metal body. I didn't like the sloppiness of the top deck when dry-fitted so I had to shim it on each side. 
 

Album image #13
Same thing with the rear plate. Some serious shimming was required. 
 

Album image #14
It's coming together! A quick dry-fit of the top and rear lets me know that all the side-to-side gaps are gone. 
 

Album image #15
All wheels were primed with Tamiya Metal and Plastic Primer, then sprayed with Tamiya Rubber Black acrylic. 
 

Album image #16
Wheel masks created with my Shadowline Hobby circle cutter. I used it on .005 sheets of styrene so that I could have a bit of flexibility when taping the wheels to the back of it.
