Definitely! It looks like a B1 bis hull mated to a Tiger 2 turret.

I managed to add some weathering to the hull and the tracks. I think the turret sides need some streaking but I don't want to overdo it. https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1486.jpg https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1487.jpg https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1488.jp...

Great job on the fuel lines connectors!

First painting steps. I applied a base coat of XF-58 Olive Green. I then applied a pre-shade in XF-85 Rubber Black.

The huge aluminum gun is not glued yet. It is strange that the aluminum gun is mentioned neither on ...

More progress on the hull which is 98% complete. I still have to decide whether or not I glue the tools prior to painting the whole thing. The driver and the radio/MG gunner hatches are a bit tricky to install. Amusing Hobby tells you to assemble the two parts of the hatch (without glue) and then in...

Obviously

3 more steps completed today. The exhaust assembly looks daunting on the instructions but comes easily in fact. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the direction of parts A14. On one side there are tiny flat rectangles which help hold the both parts together when they are glued according ...

Hi all this has been a long time since I last showed one of my builds. I've recently bought this unusual kit for me. Although it is a post-WW II tank it is not modern. The kit comes in 4 beige sprues and a huge one piece hull to which you just have to add the rear plate and the floor. Here is the la...
