G'Day All;

Here is my latest silliness, this is a Tamiya King Tiger, in 1/48. I've been enjoying the several builds done by lots of great modellers here, and I wanted to try out the red primer look I've seen done to perfection by modellers like MiG & Adam Wilder.

Here is my interpretation of that. The model was painted in Tamiya acrylics, with weathering done using oil washes, and pigments used both wet & dry.

All comments are welcomed, in fact, greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance for looking.



















Thanks again, and Cheers, Pat

Hi, Pat:

You've done a great job with the red primer and oil staining with this Tiger. It looks well used and abused.

Cheers,

Pat thats brillant work as usual, love the colour work its great, did you remove tracks and wheels to paint?, cheers Bob.

I like the streaked, stained appearance of your finish. Well done! Dave

Superb finish Pat - just got a shot of inspiration - now where's that half started Tiger!!!
Kind Regards,
Paul

Fantastic! It even looks like it's 1:35 scale!

I like everything in it.............the paint, the shiny edges, tracks rain streaks,,,everything!

I like your choice of camo, something completely different! Nice weathering too!

Namaste

Pat, that is one of the most beautiful King Tigers I have ever seen in ANY scale! Great job.

Well done!

All the best,
Staf

Well done!

Beautiful KT Pat.
I'm doing one that's very similar and love the effect you've acheived.
Outstanding paintwork and weathering.

Jurgen.

One of my most favourite finishes, too! Congratulations!!

Now if I want to copy it, can you tell me what detail set and barrel you used?

And did you use masking tape for the camo, or brush painted it?

Thank you for sharing,

I'm working on something "similer" in 1/72. Can I ask you about the factory marks on your model? Did they come from actual photos or did you just make them up? They look very convincing.

I think the red turned out to perfection- very well done-

Hello Pat your KT looks really nice, very good aproach to a red primer AFV. is good to see you making axis stuff.

Kind regards

Coming in late on this one Pat.

One of the better 1/48th subjects I have seen so far. Love the finish and the cool camo as well.

Nice photos. Hope you see this.

Cheers
