      From my perspective, your Tiger for the SD Tank Club is considered done and ready for delivery. Whoever the previous owner was, he put those tubes at rear incorrectly. He also super glued them. I could not detach and correct them for you.

      Here are a few pictures of how it looks. Let me know if you need me to do anything else to it. You need to add the decals of the German company you intend it for. Sorry, I don't have any Afrika decal for it.

      I will bring it to you in the April LA battle day. No charge :-)

          I think after leaving in one battle with all the dust in the SD, it will look better.

            Here it is next to my Tamiya Tiger. You can see the dullcote effect (you requested) compared to my "shiny" Tamiya :-)

              I like that David. Dull is nice. Helps to knock down the reflection the incoming UV bulbs shots too.

                Wow that looks great man. Way better than the Afrika corps paint job I did on my P3 years ago.
                Bravo. It will have a nice spot on our field as a prop for our Axis vs Allied battles.

                  Thank you! It actually looks older and dirtier than from the picture.

                    I forgot to put the cables back. Here is it with the towing cables.....
