Here are a few pictures of a early version Tamiya Tiger tank (56010). I have followed no paint or division markings or colour patterns. This is my first 1/16th tank build, and if you followed the ebay thread, it was not my tank of choice.
I must admit that i was pretty gutted on not getting a King Tiger after waiting some years before making a purchase, I thought the Tiger a poor second. But once it arrived and I had opened the box, all the bad thoughts went out of the window. this as been an enjoyable build, with some flaws in the kit assembly, that I'm glad I did. Though it has yet to be weathered, she's not looking to bad.
The moral of my story is, when on ebay, be carful not to click on links that take you to the shop and off ebay, and if you do, check they have the product in stock, you want to buy.
