I have base painted the running gear and the interior of the tiger. The base paint is Tamiya Dark Yellow for the wheels and sprockets as well as the areas behind the wheels. Then the oil wash of burnt sienna and then a dry brush of white and dark yellow. This is really just the first step as other colors will be added later. Next in preparation of working on the interior I painted it a red primer which is a mixture of Tamiya Hull Red and Flat Red. I have decided to put the zimmert on myself. I am using Tamiya putty. It looks a little rough to me, but maybe I will get better at it as I go. Here are some pictures of the progress so far.

Yes, but even with the book there are still some blank spots. However just being able to look through the hatches how much can you reall see.
