My First 1/6 Tiger

[lin]

Found this one in the weeds in back of someones shed,Cant go wrong for 50.00$It took me a hole bottle of crazy glue and half a tube of putty to get it this far.Took off old (not to scale zimmert) and applied new.Ordered alot of parts,and put it on the work bench!This is my first 1/6 scale model.Wish me luck.Thanks Lucian

Not bad for $50.00...considering that a new F.O.V. Tiger 1 kit unbuilt goes for around $450 and up, I have this same tiger 1 kit at the worktable ......hoping to some day finishing it. Good luck with this project and looking forward to see it all built up, am pretty sure it will be another stunning piece from your worktable as the previus ones you have posted.

As Federico just said $50 is a gift! Nice pick up and nice start. I have not seen an FOA Tiger firsthand, only have seen the driver and idler wheels which I thought I would need for my TIger and luckyly never needed to use. If by any chance you need drivers or idlers, let me know and I can send them at no cost.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this late production TIger I. The time frame for this style of Tiger I is from early 1944 to the end of the war.
Happy tanking!

That's a great buy and very nice zimmerit you've put on it. Will you adjust the mountings for the front fenders, and do you have any idea yet which tank or period you might model? Just working on a bunch of 1:35 Tigers myself at present. I think you've used more stuff on this than all my 5 put together. Can't wait to see this done.

I can't wait to follow this build. Please post pics all your painting and weathering techniques and tips too
this is going to be a monster! 50bucks I'm so jealous!

Nice tank,,excited to see its progress....
1/16 tamiya kit is a rip off I have a Heng Long Tiger with metal tracks and I paid around $150 with some extra work you can easily obtained the same results .....
