Dragon 1/35th Tiger II (Final Production) Poland '46

Jolly fine indeed Ian .
I forgot to mention the bit about going cross-eyed though

They look the dingo`s danglers Ian

Thats a cracking price indeed

Simply amazing! Awesome paint work!

I jumped back on the Octo-Tiger project and got some of the pioneer tools mounted on the hull. I also got the add-on armor plates added to the engine deck and these were painted with a Vallejo Rust mixture. I started painting the exhaust pipes as well and laid down a base coat of Vallejo Light Rust there as well. Just to add a twist, I think I might add sections of the regular side skirts to the hull painted in a completely different scheme, like normal ambush or something, as if they came off another vehicle. Also, question for any avid tread heads here------since the Tiger II was prone to transmission/engine failures would it be feasible to have the tow cables already hooked up to the tow hooks on the front and rear of the hull to save time? Also, since the tank will be covered in cage armor the cables would be more accessible as they would be outside the cage armor. 

Thanks, Paul! Thats what I will do then; one end hooked up on the shackle and the other end on a breakaway mount or something on the hull. I got to thinking; if the cables were secured like a regular Tiger II on the side of the hull the crew would have a helluva time trying to get them out from underneath the cage armor, especially if the '46 Red Army is shooting at them.

Thanks, Boots! The hull is way behind the turret on the filter/weathering timeline because I got off schedule due to the issue with the tracks. I am going to try to make some headway on this next week.

Looks great Ian and nice work on the tracks
