- Another absolutely stunning work! One of the best TIGERS to date. Clean build, exceptional painting skills. Weathering is fantastic. I believe this is Otto Carius' mount. Excellent photos and research.

- You, lazy man, shame on you! What is that Dragon's gun instead of a metal barrel? ...Obviously I'm kidding...This is one of the best small scale tiger I've ever seen. Altough not completly accurate for a tiger I fruhe produktion (sprocked hub of a later type, feifell filters of an earlier model...) the building is almost perferct. Paintwork is superb, as are decals placement and weathering. I like the damnage on the running gear! A model really nearing perfection!

- Perfect build job. Lot's of details, and the unpainted pictures are realy impressive. If I were you I wouldn't paint it. Anyway your paint job is fantastic. At first look it's a simple yellow vehicle, but there are very little details, anf the weathering is very well done. There's nothing else to say, maximum point!
