That's a beauty, well done.
I always like the mids, but there weren't any aftermarket options for cupolas, etc when I first built my FO, so I ended going the other direction, an Initial.

Here is a picture of it that Andy sent me, I like his paint job a lot.
I hope to see it in person soon, perhaps we can get together and do a training battle?

RE: Mid Production Tiger
Thank you for all the kind words. I have hesitated to post any of my projects due to the amazing creations posted on this forum. I built 1/35 tank models in my youth (30 years ago!) and got back into it as my son has gotten old enough to get involved. I'm still very new to RC, and I'm feeling my way. I have a few more tanks in the collection and will post some more pics.
I'm always impressed with the support from RC tankers. About five years ago, forum participant Ex Pat Tanker gave me a lot of tips before I got my first tank. I'm not sure he will remember me?. I lived in Littleton Colorado for a couple of years, joined FRAG and Panzer Paul is always very helpful and encouraging. Paul also welcomed my young son, and we look forward to battling every month at the fantastic FRAG field. Career has taken me to southwestern Colorado, and Pah Co Chu Puk live a couple of hours away, which in the west is like being neighbors! I look forward to many local training battles in between our trips to the FRAG field and possibly DAK. Here is hoping to the continued growth of the hobby!

Edoubleaz. Sounds like fun! Pah Co Chu Puk really enjoyed his visit. I look forward to the challenge! We west slopes will show up in strength next time. My seven year old is also a fierce competitor. Be careful what you wish for!
Per ex pat tanker, I used milliput for the zim. i found it relatively easy to work with because it is water soluble and has a long cure time.
Cheers!

RE: Mid Production Tiger
The Sherman I have seen... and shot at!
It is a very good runner and kills Panthers quite well. The flame cut steel on the add on armor is very nicely done. It also has great sound.
I was impressed by it.
