1/72 Dragon Jagdtiger

Hi all,

This one is hot off the press. We have the 1/72 Dragon sd.kfz.186 Jagdtiger Porche production with Zimmerit. This kit went together without any problems, except for the rear exhaust plate. There was this huge gap that after looking at some photo's wasn't meant to be there. I had to grind away some of the top armor so it would fit better. Painting was done with mainly Tamiya acrylics. Started with a red brown undercoat then a coat of desert yellow, masked off the appropriate areas and finished with Humbrol flat white (best flat white on the market in my opinion). went a once over with clear flat lacquer, and then weathered it with pastels. My inspiration came from the Tiger article in Fine Scale Modeller FEB 2011. This is only my second armor model and i enjoyed it immensely. i feel there are more armor builds on the horizon. As all ways, comments welcome.
Cheers - Leo
