The dark side cometh. Many of you know I am strictly an ALLIED tank commander but I have been persuaded to dabble in AXIS armor with the purchase of a second hand Tiger from a club member who had already painted it in Bovingtons's captured 131 scheme. If I were to do a Tiger this is the one, so off we go. I ran it at the SCAT battleday to see how the original build up handled. Nice. Using DX-6 with BR6000 (came with tank)

Six month ago I bought two of the "K" sprue from the static kit for the appropriate parts. Feifel air cleaners, hatch hardware, early mantlet, and Afrika Corps Commander plus butterfly washers, extra exhaust shields and a few other nick nacs completed the package. I ordered a metal barrel from Stella and began the tear down by removing the tools, hatches, and cables.

Mantlet was modified and I plan to put the TBU LED down the barrel.
