well its not this kinda tiger....la actually hahah nuff of the crap.....but its a german Tiger....haha lame....

Kommandant Otto Carius....German Tiger I mid production commander....an Iron Cross reciever thou.....tiger tanks kick ass during WWII......they cant be compared to any Allied tanks....the sickening truth that casualties exchange was nearly to the ratio of 1:10+ for Tigers vs Any Alllied armor.....it weights 60+ tonnes which is 3 times heavier than normal allied tanks.....taking Shermans as an example.....the problems with these tigers were thier frequent maintenance, high fuel consumption and engine failures....however it still remained a strong propaganda to the german people and the allies....

The runner pieces and manuals inside


I've been inspired by WWII war machines since long time ago....but dun wanna buy them for collection yet....coz i knew it will be shytty if i dun have enuff skill , research and modelling equipments......so now after gathering all the thgs and reference manual on airbrushing and crafting from Osprey - Modelling Manials 37 - Modelling the Tiger I....specially dedicated on Tiger I....i decided to try on one hehe.....damn i hav to admit that these modellers r pure pro...so many methods they used tat i hav yet to see before...=_="....this Tiger will be my 1st WWII collection models....n i know it really challenging to achieve something like these masterpieces...


Some of the Tiger variations....from Tamiya and other brands as well...
