Default RE: Tamiya Tiger I Initial conversion

That's a great reference but there are some innacuracies. It's your tank, if you like red numbers, do red numbers. Just tell everyone in your build so the rivet counters won't critique something you did on purpose. Sometimes I'm a rivet counter!

Many of my tanks "belong" to my wife and children. All of them have cartoon characters and their names to personalize them. Not historically accurate but they were added in such a way to look the part. The names are in deutsch gothic font, the Mini Mouse character on the PZIII is from WW2 and she's holding an ice cream cone, fitting for the desert don't ya think? Jasmine on the Rommelkiste of Tiger 211 fits the part of being in the desert though I'm not certain when she was created by Disney. Then there's our Walker BullDog. The paint job is not correct for that tank nor are the colors and Dora the Explorer would be one of the most unlikely cartoons to decorate a tank but that was all disclosed in the build!
