Aaron, it's the 7376 Leningrad winter one. I got it ages ago for £10, and I see they're going for £20 plus. The sprues look very much like your T34 ones. I'm kind of waiting until I feel I can do it justice.
I would like to see more 1/48 armour kits myself.

Hey Tony,


The Leningrad Tiger really is a beautiful kit and on my hit list, Ive only built the tilly I'm 1/48 and I really like the scale but as you say there really isn't a whole lot of choice.


Thanks Monica, the p.e in this kit is a joy to work with.

I've been cranking away on this kit without taking pics :oops:


I'm about to apply decals so I took some shots first.


Glossed for action.

I know you will do a smashing job! STILL think 1/35 TOO small though! :rolleyes:

 

[aaron]

Thanks Jim, I'm having a blast with this kit. 1/72 is pretty small but really satisfying.

Aaron this looks very nice indeed and all that detail for 1/72 is incredible, lovely clean build and nice paint so far.

A few details to paint and some fading with oils.

Hmmm interesting. Ive always darkwashed and then drybrushed color over it on my tanks. I like how you paint it first and then wash. I may have to try that. Maybe everyone does it that way and Im the odd man out. :eek: Anyway its looking real nice Aaron .

 

[chris2681]

Oh and forgot to say Im a 1/35 man myself but this lil guy seems to have a lot of detail to it. A very nice kit for 1/72 scale which to me at least sometimes lacks the detail of 1/35 scale. But that doesn't seem the case here. One lil word of advice though , I paint my extras before I put them on the vehicle. Shovels,spare wheels, and equipment. I would hate to have to pick them out after they are on the vehicle. Id really dread it in 1/72 scale!

 

[Wong Ryan]

very nice finishing ..... two thumbs up

Looks great Aaron. Fading and the wash have brought it to life.

Cheers Jim...you don't base coat first? That's new to me, I'd love to watch you build. I like to get my tools glued down before base coating because I have an issue with gluing over paint. I paint the tools after a coat of future so if I slip with the brush I can get it off with a damp brush.


Thanks Joe and Ryan, appreciate the input.

That's looking superb Aaron! The wash is just perfect, it's so easy to overdo it in 1/72.

 

[aaron]

Lol are you sure mate because I used streaking grime by accident


Thanks, you made me feel a little better about the outcome of a mistake.
