    Hobby boss 1/16 Tiger 1

    I don't know why but I just fancied a big tank kit so I better do a good job as my history with tank's is not good but I have already assembled some wheels and had a go at some weathering so please let me know how i done.
    The first pic is the non weathered wheels. Click image for larger version

          Nice weathering on the drive wheels and sprockets. If not all ready done you may want weather the inside of the sprocket and the backside of both the rear wheels and sprockets as these will be on view.
