The base kit is from Tamiya. Tracks are from DML. Photo-etch
parts are a mix from ABER and EDUARD. Many parts were sratch-built.
The hard edge cammo scheme is painted with Modelmaster and Revell enamels,
and was created with the help of Humbrol Maskol. On a basecolor of Dunkelgelb
I painted Maskol patches where I want the Dark Yellow cammo patches
to appear later. Next I sprayed the whole tank green. Then I again used
the Maskol to paint the cammo patches where wanted green to appear later
with the Maskol from the first step still in place. Finally I sprayed
the tank brown (except the wheels, because on a real Tiger the base
color was green). After removing the Maskol cover I painted the edges
here and there with a brush to make the edges as sharply definded as
possible – but most of the cammo work was done with the Maskol
and airbrush technique. The turret numbers are hand painted, and weathering
was done with Schmincke artist pastel chalks. The figure was made from
Tamiya and DML parts.
