Another Merit Tiger redux

The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

Thanks all for the kind reviews
Here is one last shot…when I was trying to match the camo pattern from the picture of “Hildegard” I made a 1/16 scale cut out of one of the crew and used him to help match the pattern…goofy idea but it worked.

Thats a great idea, it also helps keep the camo pattern in scale.

The modeler needs to keep in mind the scale of the figure who would be painting the tank. Many a time I've painted
a 1/4 of the tank with one pass of the airbrush... :evil: ....just doesn't look right.
Looks great Yoxford!
