Bishops 1/48 Tamiya Tiger 1 Initial Production

Post by EricM »

My failed redemption for not starting a post at the beginning of this as i completely spaced on it so this first post will be very image intense.

As i was late getting this to the house because it came from japan i tried to at least catch up to where everyone else was at and i think i did a pretty good job of it. The metal chassis was a neat surprise as i didnt know that these came with these but then learning that its hit or miss which boxes have them in it. assembly was a dream and it just fell together. Got it primered and painted on the second day of construction and the turret together primed and painted, next was to be the road wheel assembly and painting. I wanted to make this easy on myself and for future use i went to the artsy store and purchased a circle template tool to paint the wheels and oh boy did it make it a hundred times easier! :banana: Then i decided that i would get some fruils because why not? Got them ordered from my supplier in Poland and was pleasantly surprised that he added in scale tow cables with my order, which is always nice as he adds something in with each order of mine regardless of how much or what i order, he has become my go to shop for PE and Tracks. So as I type my tracks are taking a burnishing bath, so here are my in progress pics of this wonderful tamiya Tiger 1.

That is exactly the last kit I built! And I used the same decals, too! :banana:
But yours looks much more better. Impressive work! :th:
