1/35 Dragon Sd.Kfz 181 Panzerkampwagen VI (P) a.k.a Tiger P

[Sven Harjacek]

Here is my main entry (junior category),so far i have assemble the wheels,tracks,suspension and hull (still have to add aerials and tools),next is turret and then painting .
I wont to the camo that dragon suggest im doing in my way,you'll see later .
The machine gun cover was done as seen in the pictures of the third prototype,i made some styrene circles and then covered them with a tissue "painted" with white glue and water to stick.

(welds done with tamiya polyester putty)

Kind regards,Sven.

Here's a few pictures:

Thanks Norm!

Yes,i like this tank very much,actually i like the whole Elefant/Ferdinand series with this banana style of tracks.Im not that happy how it turned out,because of the overspray on the turret,i have only 0.5 needle and it's hard to work that way,but hopefully further weathering will hide it a little bit .

Kind regards.

Sven you have crazy tallents for your age ;D its a Creit to ya, im loving the hull red and camo turret looks really cool,

 

[wyoroy]

Very nice.

Excellent work Sven!! Love the factory finish!!! Keep it going!!

 

[Grendels]

Nice clean work!

 

[Sven Harjacek]

Thank you everyone,i will only do some fading with oil paint and some chipping on the turret.
I still think i can do better when i get better tools and airbrush,hopefully ill have money to buy a better one with 0.3 nozzle so i can do the camo easier and hopefully with no overspray . I really like this kind of "prototype" vehicles from WWII,so i raised some money to buy this model,which will be my next project .

in this simmilar camo .

Kind regards,Sven.

Very cool subject.

Sweet buy Sven!! May want to look into the AK 124 German Red Oxide Primer MODULATION SET . Worth every penny Sir!! Count me in on that build!!!

 

[Sven Harjacek]

Thanks.Yes i have seen that set,but 20 $ is a lot since i have the colors and i mix them on my own,as i've said before my budget isnt high (im still in primary school and i cant do any jobs or anything) and i could get other stuff i need for 20$.
Im sure they are worth the money.

Kind regards.

 

[Sven Harjacek]

Just to let everyone know.
I have finished this model on friday,i have added the aerial,weathered the track,did a little wash and added tools + towing cable.
I have a question,do i have to submit this anywhere,post another topic or something or is this fine?

Hope you like it,kind regards Sven!

Rally cool build

 

[JohnSimmons]

Excellent! Very interesting subject and different. I think I'm right in thinking that there will be a form to fill out (like the form you had to submit for entry) for the final six photo's.

 

[Bizarre]

Nice model, Sven. Maybe add some more brown wash to the tow cable? Looks brand new.

 

[Sven Harjacek]

Thanks for the comments,thank you Roman for the suggestion,brown wash is drying
