Hi Robert i used tamiya dark yellow and tamiya red brown. add to this a light coat of sludge wash, this is made up from water based Matt black paint water and a few drops of washing up liquid. this is left on for 5 minutes then lightly wiped off. the zimmerit was already part of the kit, but if you want to apply it yourself then i use squadron white putty applied with a small model saw.
An excellent Tiger Scott, beautifully built and more than beautifully painted, and dare I say it, it's crying out for a little scene to set it off. A damaged building and road, or steppe.
this is a lovely build, and as Tony says its crying out for a scene to set it off, which will make it look even more amazing.
One point and I fell in to the same trap on my "Tiger in the garden" and made I the adjustment at the end.
German tanks did not have red fire extinguishers, they were painted black, I did the same thing, it just seamed right to have this red bit on whats just dull greens and browns.
Just before I finished mine off, I checked on some reference books and there it was Black not red, how could I have missed that, anyways if you want it red leave it red, you leave it red, its only me passing on what I found out, and please don't take offense.
