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.
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.
