Great build, I have this kit in my stash. Just a quick note about the red primer. It was applied before the zimmerit was applied so you would not see it in areas where the zimmerit was applied unless the zimmerit was damaged. You have inspired me to make this kit the next one I build.
That was a pretty good build! Nice blend of weathering techniques and great explanations to why and what. Got myself this kit in a white Dragon box an look forward to build it!
@@matthewpeters9620 Be aware there’s two versions of this kit released by Dragon, but with the same prooduct number: One with vinyl DS tracks (which has hollow guide horns, and from what I understand is historically correct, if that’s important) and one with the single link plastic “Magic Tracks” (guide horns not hollow).
Here is the primer I used for this project: Rust-Oleum 249086 Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover, 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Flat Red Primer, 12 Ounce a.co/d/2zeLcAp
@@HammerheadModelMaking I've put off building a Tiger for years because the rivet police had kind of taken the fun out of it. But, I bought the Big 3 box of Takom Tigers and am just going to go to town on them.
It wasn't bad, it felt a little soft/shallow to what I would consider a good zimmerit, but considering there aren't many kits out there with the zimmerit molded on, it worked well enough.
Couple things. There are pictures of screens being missing so you could have put the other on. As to tge screens? They are a loose fitting screen so easy thing to do take a pencil or something round and push down the areas of screen not on the actual deck parts of the tank. It adds an easy realistic touch.
Hi mate, late comment, great vid, given u r thinking of building carious tiger, should remove the key shield symble at the front, that is the 1st ss panzer division Michael witmanns unit, carius is regular army and was part of 502,
Attention,Otto Carius n'a jamais fait partie de la Waffen donc pas de Simple Dietrich sur le glacis frontal. De plus,Dragon s'est trompé,le 217 n'a jamais été rouge,noir l'hiver sur camo hivernal et blanc l'été. Cordialement.
