Looks good to me Moni! I always think that once the camo is painted they kinda look too bright, but the wash & weathering will tone it down. I'm at the same stage with my Jagdtiger.


Plenty of dust is the future for a Kursk Tiger!

cool so glad your liking it so far,it dose get that shine to it,even its a flat paint,


must watch my weathering this time, dont wont to have to repaint all,


I do like the carbon ,smoke look around the engine grills,so will keep that look,


the other I think will go for a dark brown,pin lining around the hatchets and so,


on with some of the red/brown chipping,then as you have said the washes in


from a dirt,to lite dust to tone her down,


with maybe bit of mud or ash depends on what setting the base is,any surgeries ? for Kursk ????


will look forward to seeing the Jagdtiger. soon,Think I have one coming forget what I did buy,

I'd steer clear of the smoke around the engine grills, unless it's very subtle. Especially the rearmost ones as these had the radiator fans & would only suck air in, not blow it out.


Unless the engine had a problem, there's not much likelihood of smoke coming up through the grills. Perhaps a little bit of burnt grease / oil, but that wouldn't show much.


As for Kursk, you can go dry & dusty or wet & muddy! There was hot dry weather at the start & even localised thunderstorms during the campaign.

That's looking very cool Monica, nice battle damage on the fenders.
