Judging by the response to the first video in this build series we did need another Tiger, and Takom seems to be on a real winner with this release.

Last week we got to the initial painting of the complex camouflage of this best – it left me in the odd position of just how to go forward and what options to choose, the video for that is here…

Part III: With the Takom Tiger built and painted, it’s now time to show you the steps I took to weather and present this unique camouflage scheme of the 102nd Panzer Division. The unique color scheme of this kit left me indecisive. I used a combination of products and techniques to achieve a satisfactory result. The completed kit as a walk-around…

The Weathering was achieved using Ammo’s mix of pigments and washes. I also used a variety of landscaping materials to create the camouflage pattern often found on German vehicles. The kit is shown in a close-up series, revealing more details.
