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

ta Scott, makes me happy your liking it so far,a little damage is called for on the fenders ,i think,as its just so big,


and crashing through things be it trees,or streets,would have some,

[monica]

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.

noted ,I did not know that it had the fans on each side,under these grills,thank you for letting me know,so a little rethinking will


get it all sorted,with what to do,


still have not decided on what ,type of condition let as you said it was a summer campaign,


still looking at pics,and just waiting on that one to jump out at me,

[monica]

well about all I will get done for today have a busy one,


have the making on it,and fitted the barrel,and exhaust covers,


and found some logs to place on the sides,

Your Tiger is looking great Monica. I'm viewing this after a week or so away, but I am watching the build.

I'm building this kit too Monica. Doesn't it fall together so nicely? I like the tri camo scheme you have chosen. I wanted to do something different so I've hacked at mine trying to imitate the Leningrad tigers.

I got both the interior and exterior kits from a clearance sale at my local hobby store for a sweet price Monica. Some of the tools are lacking in detail but lucky I had a few replacements in the spare bin.

[monica]

well as it,s a nice sunny day,I got the base work done,to take advantage of the sun,


so did it as early summer with the crops still high and greenish,


that's a good 3 to 4 hrs work setting all that grass made from garden twine


or maybe more,time to have a kip,should be out in the garden but that can wait,


well hope your liking it so far,waiting on some figures so that will slow me down a little,o_O

That's really good Moni! German tankers described the Steppes as like driving through a sea of grass, causing them to really fear a dug-in AT gun, or an attack by Russian infantry.
