Tamiya's Early Tiger 1......1/35 scale.

Hi guys,
Here is my latest offering from Tamiya which I have just finished. I really liked this kit and it was a pleasure to do. I built it straight from the box with no after market items and just used the stock figure as supplied. My intentions were to portray one of the first Tiger's sent to the Eastern front during the end of winter in early 1943. That way I did not have to attempt any zimmerit. I am still unsure why I did not use any of the decals supplied. I didn't forget, I just decided not to use any.
Still have a base to build but for now I thought I would just show the completed kit. Thanks.

Yes 1/35 Tamiya early Tiger 1 old mold kit. I did build one 25 or so years ago, gray like box art. I have Otto's decals for this, read his book "Tigers In The Mud" years ago.View attachment 97919

I did buy PE screens for it.....that's about it. I am really interested in Otto's Jagdtiger, much more interesting looking I think, too bad it was a "white elephant". Kinda eyeing up Tamiya's 1/35 kit.
