Put this away some time ago and now is the time to finish this Tiger!!!

This is what it looked liked when I put it away... model was primed with Vallejo black surface primer and gray surface primer
( looks yellowish/brown in the pic because of my camera ). I was trying to create a two tone shadow / highlight effect before
applying the base coat.

These are the AFV tracks I purchased to replace the kit tracks.

Today I applied several coats of Tamiya XF-60 dark yellow as the initial base color. Tiger is coming to life.

Once the base coat dries then I am going to start weathering and rusting the exhaust pipes

I will be adding the exhaust shrouds later. I left them off so I can paint and weather the exhaust.
