Taigen all metal Tiger tank "Kit" 1'16th scale

[deepdiver8055]

This is the Taigen 1/16th scale Tiger 1 kit "All Metal"
She's about 5 years old now and still kicking like the day she started.
This is a very good kit and requires you to build the entire kit and paint it. I painted this one with an airbrush, dry brushing and paper towels for the look you see here.
I like building because you learn a lot about the kit, parts, wiring and so on plus I know it's built and put together right after i'm done with it.


Cheers!

Nice finish! tell us about the paper towel treatment, hadn't heard about that.

Thanks SoCalBobS.

I use the towels to smear the paint and build up sort of a texture on the paint in certain areas but doing this when the paint is a bit sticky to hold the texture.
