Evening all,
Pulled this out of the stash, I'm off on my holidays soon and fancied a quick and dirty build.
Got stuck straight in to the lower hull, torsion bar suspension on this kit and some rather strange springs on the rear rollers that allow them to pivot slightly under tension??
I built up the hull fairly quickly and then tackled the dreaded zimmerit. Now this is the first time I've ever done this by hand and I'm semi-happy with how it came out. I've got another two tigers in the stash so this one is a bit of a test bed.
I also tried adding some dents to the exhaust covers (another first for me). Not sure if I like the result, we'll see after paint and weathering.
