After seeing both yours and Jnewboys tigers, my JSI out-of-the-box tiger seems like a timid kitty.

Can't wait to see this 'Battle of the Bulge Epic Project' Come together!

I really like the way that the vertical stripes look on the Tiger tank.Similar to a real tiger.And the rugged rino look that the zemmerit gives to the tank.I believe fear factor was of the charts when it comes to facing this tank in WWII. :shock:
What paint colors did you use on this tank? and what brand?

The paints are Vallejo Model air. I buy them from Colorado miniatures.
These are the colors I work with. They are a dark shade of panzer colors so I lighten them up to produce a light finish like on my tiger tank.

Even right out of the bottle they look good. Already thinned for an airbrush.
