Kit with the Friulmodel tracks that I did not end up using, as I used the kit tracks instead. Did not feel that the kit was worth the Friulmodel tracks.

I attempt to build two kits at the same time, one in 1/35 scale and the other in TooN scale. The TooN scale is to be the test bed.

Never sure if the Tamiya 1/35 is the real deal or the Meng TooN is. Sometimes the paint mule becomes the best copy.

Drilled holes in the side wall, used wire to hold down the rubber band tracks. Weathered over the wire to cover up them.

Album info

Tiger I in an urban area, not historically correct, just interesting to test finishes on a German Grey tank with more building dust on the tracks and lower hull. Attempted to lightly weather the Tiger as it was not overly used in a rural battle but still had engaged the enemy and had suffered some damage.
