Seeing as how all my old photo's have gone - here's a recap on what kit I'm building.
And this is where I was with it - a completed hull complete with sticky-back Zimmerit and PE grills, and a turret that I was just about to start adding the Zimm to. I've also assembled all the road wheels and barrel for the 88.
Over the last few months I've been sorting out what tracks to go with, as I didn't like the thought of the kit's indy link tracks. So I have a nice set of metal Fruil tracks, and some plastic ones from an old RFM kit that you need to assemble, but look pretty good.
And if you remember, which I doubt you will - I was going to go for this scheme, just to be different.
And that's pretty much where I am - over the last few nights I've been adding the Zimmerit to the turret, but I've found that whilst this sticky-back stuff from Tamiya works well on the large flat surfaces, it's not very good on the small parts - its too stiff and one conform to the curves on the hatches etc, and in some cases it's the wrong shape. So I think I'm going to use putty on those parts - I have Milliputt, and I might get a Zimmerit tool (or I could just make one).
Cheers!
Okay you've confused me now lol! I thought I WAS doing the late version... or am I doing the mid to later version lol! Hang on, I need to take a photo...
I just thought it would look a bit different to the three scheme camo's you often see Tigers painted in.
