1/18...um, ok. hahaha, just kidding. :lol:
Looks really great, especially the faded base paint. Oh, don't let me forget the customizations!
Cool looking Das Reich Tiger!

Thanks! that paint is hard to get right, I see allot of models where the yellow is way to dark and not faded properly, thanks for noticing :wink:

What scale did you want? 1/35? 1/16? That would be no challenge! and lots of buyers! Why would I do that?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have you done or considered doing a Panther made to look like an M-10, like the Germans planned to use during Operation Greif?

No intention to hijack the subject but the Ersatz M-10 has always been a pet project of mine.

I will do that mod in the future when I continue my Panther line.. :wink:

yes! I have wanted to but wanted to do it justice and though some parts are simple some parts like the front end are not easy to scratch build (at least for me). Someday I will try to make one in 1/16...

Jnew, Another fine custom!!! Your work is always outstanding !
Your post on the Tiger I wheel swap has inspired me; I've set aside an FOV and a 21st Tiger I
for that custom.
Great work, keep it coming.

Great Job on the tigers. The recognition flag is very well done as well.
I'm doing a Das Reich tiger on one of my 1/16 tigers.
Nice to see you added the S mine launchers as well, nice touch.
