Tiger I - Tamiya 1/25
This is the Tamiya early Tiger I in 1/25 scale. I bought this new over 40 years ago for $40. It was the most I paid for a kit up until then and thought it was over priced. I painted it with a rattle can in one color only, way before I acquired an air brush. It moved with me over many years in pieces. I finally put it back together and added the existing color scheme.
I painted it to match its deployment in Africa. The markings I chose were out of the box and do not follow any historical unit. This was way before the internet so I had no actual history to rely on. This is a sentimental model for me since it's been with me all these many years. If a model kit can be an old friend then this is it for me.
How great that this model has been with you for so many years, Mike @micrometer
With this freshly applied African scheme it can stay with you for many more years.
Well done.
Beautiful camo work.
A cracker.
Fantastic result and equally fantastic refurbishment, Mike!
Well done!
Nice, I built this kit not too long ago. Accuracy has been surpassed with modern kits, but what a fun build! Looks great!
Thank you all!
