Hobby Boss 1/16 Tiger 1

I used red body filler from Wallmart. Tube was about $3.00 and should last a while. I used masking tape on each side of the section I was doing, unless it edged a previously done side, and then added putty. Then I used a razor blade and dragged it down so the section was even. The tape provided the proper depth of filler. Then used the screw driver and made rows of slots, pull the tape and let dry. You might want to use something else to set the depth as this is a bigger model. Hope that helps.

Ausf has a sure fire method for zimmerit, I have used it and it works well. I hope he doesn't mind my posting the link.

The tracks are looking swell! :drinks

About time this had more work done on it.

Bit of cutting on the front to remove the rounded bit where the drive gears go. Bit of bog and these little metal transmission covers that I found on ebay and it should be all good (I hope).

Yes I am starting to think why did I pick something this big.

It Will become clear when you have this build almost done!

Right I bit the bullet and tried putting Zimmerit on using Tamiya basic putty (the one with the orange lid).

And after a fair bit of practice and trial runs I went with the applicator tools that come with the kit after trying screw drivers and other bits and pieces.

Well it is just about ready for a gallon or two of primer.

So very very cool. You'll need a separate garage to park it in
