Looks great Ajay, I think your weathering looks fine. Have this kit and also the bigger 1/16 Tamiya Tiger I full option RC kit too that I've actually made a start on along with some after market decals and parts for it ... its a beast of a kit! This is its state of build so far, suspension bars installed, gearbox and motors installed ... it will be quite the big boy toy when finished. and the RC parts I bought separately

Ajay, the more I look at that the more I like it. Road wheels usually will not all look alike. Some will have a grease and absorbed earth that another wheel won’t have. One or two may have some embedded mud from a pivot turn that isn’t on other ones. Same for other things like exhaust shields. One may be battered from backing into something while the other may look fine. Operational stuff will have imperfections and irregularities. Nature of the game.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Another possibility.. A Tiger after a bad day.

Man, shrapnel, .50 cal, and main gun rounds on that thing.

I notice that the front armor doesn’t look similarly affected.

I googled the pic and there wasn't any info where it was taken. Looks like a range to me also.
That said, a badly shot up tank being passed by the one that killed it would make a neat diorama.

Ok, house move is all done. Old house is all spic and span, yards done etc. Fridge issues, hot water issues, internet issues..but at least the move is done and the fridge got a new sensor this morning so down to just getting the gas hot water sussed out and the internet sorted. Cats and Dog trained withe the animal door, fence opening plugged so the dog doesn't escape. Managed my best sleep in 7 months, in a nice new bed..not a couch. Absolute luxury! Got the pc and model/workout room nearly done and managed a nice relaxing night last night just chillin' with the Tiger:) So, progress, tow cables. Two for on top and one for the left hand side above the skirt. Dirtied up. Pre cleaners with piping Glued and drying. Looked average, i wanted some sort of clamp for the piping so came up with this below. Once i cleaned the material ends and made the widths all even it looks good once set on the Tank, you'll have to trust me on that one and wait until i do my next series of pics. Put the top onto the hull, it's starting to look tanky! Exhaust system on, need to touch up under those rear mudguards. Turret hatch nearly complete, side decals on. Smoke dispensers and driving/spot lights, so annoyingly small for my fat fingers but got them done and ready for paint and called it a night at about 1.45am

Sweet.
Big kudoes for not rusting up the exhausts.
I see this on models from time to time, and it makes me immediately move my eyes over them. Most wartime vehicles aren't in service long enough to get rusted mufflers and exhausts.

Looking great Ajay. I like your work space - very tidy and disciplined compared to mine! (I need to have 10 minute tidy up at the end of every session because I use a myriad of tools and materials without putting them away.)

Excellent work! It's been great following your progress on this project.
In the past few years, I've been trying to get back into modelling, but I find that I might start something, and then lose the enthusiasm for it. I know it sounds like a cop out, but in many cases this happens to me because I purchase kits, and they seem to lack quality. Added to that, quite an expensive hobby nowadays. Wondering if I have to break some mental barriers to get through this, or maybe it's just age and family making me feel deprived of time............
Kindest regards,
AJ

Thanks Fish All up i spent 80 on the kit, 42 on 11 tins of paint and the one can of German Grey, 13 on the fine brush that i hardly used, 14 on the weathering kit and 12 on the magnifying glass with clamps. 161 bucks (Aus) all up plus the 20 Daryl spent. Next kit which will also be 80 smackas, which i will have to buy a single tin of paint for the main coat and that should be it, hopefully. I can't see myself needing an air brush setup or a plethora of weathering kits and what not (yet lol) although there is a heap of models i would love to get stuck into, Tempest, Sea Fury, Fw190A4 and D9, Bf109G10, Tiger II, Panther, Sherman variants, Su 152 etc etc..i can manage to hold myself back and plod along doing one every now and again. I can't really justify spending 80 dollars every month on a kit atm so the next one i do build i may have to stretch it out a bit longer for the enjoyment.
