Tamiya Serien Turm Tiger B

Back a few months ago, I found a sweet deal on eBay and ended up getting a bunch of kits, including a Tamiya King Tiger, "Henschel" turret. This was probably not gonna get built for a few years, but when I was in Minneapolis recently, I stopped into a modelling mecca, Scale Model Supplies (if you are ever in the Twin Cities, you must go!). They have a whole bunch of after market stuff.

I found Friul Tiger II tracks and a LionRoar photo etch kit for the King Tiger. The Tiger B just moved to the front of the line (along with a Heinkel 111 H-22 --btw in case you're wondering, the M-10 and Marder II have been repaired, I haven't started on fixing the Lee, still hurts to look at it).

So... wrong Tiger tracks. It's the Atl-22, which were only on the "Porsche" turreted version. So I'm awaiting an order of atl-16, but it will be sometime before I get to the tracks anyway.

I ordered a Jordi Rubio barrel. No instructions, but I think I know how it goes together.




Dunno if you can tell, but I've already begun removing parts on the rear hull for the brass.

I'd like to do a post-zimmerit Tiger, and preferably not SS (I know, they have the coolest paint jobs). Any ideas, guys?
