Thank you so much for the great comments fellas, it was a really enjoyable build this that i nearly brought another Tiger this morning lol. I kinda' refrained, i got a Sherman instead (well, it was cheaper so i got two models for the price of one). The wife loves it so much that when we have visitors she the one showing it off, can't get any better than that can ya!! Next project is going to be a little special, in 1/24 scale and it's not armour. Oh and it's going to be for the group build too.
Thanks again and have fun, JohnComment

It does Ian, when we (yes "we") went into the model shop she was the one that said "oh you what to see his latest work". Now that did make me feel good, and to say 90% of the stuff was from his shop lol. Yeah mate, had a fit and got 1/24 scale Subaru Impreza WRC.
Have fun, JohnComment

Thanks for the five Scott mate, yeah i'm going to have another go with the masking fluid. I didn't know how the paintwork was going to turn out, but i'm glad i did it now. Next time i'll do a Sherman and see what that comes out like.
Have fun, JohnComment

Hi John,
I sit here in awe of your skills Sir, you manage to bring plastic to life, top marks...
One question I have kept meaning to ask you, is, how do you manage to do the bent and twisted parts...
Thank you for sharing all your builds with us...

Hi Andy and Andrew thank you, the bent and twisted parts are photo etch. Can be a pain to work with but can bring a model to life............
