Default Tiger I Late - M.Wittman - (New WIP)

Hello friends!

I will start my new project: Schwer SS-Panzer Abteilung 101 - Commander of the 2nd. Company - Michael Wittman .

Kit: Tamiya, 1/35 with "add-ons" as: Voyager PE's, Tracks of resin from Lion Marc, hooks and some tools of J. Peddinghaus, Archer transfers and barrel gun metal of Jordi.





Tools to make a Zimmerit are includes in the Voyager set and I have the Tamiya ones.



Regards!
Rodolfo

Thanks for your kind comments friends!

Preparing the way for applying the Zimmerit.



I will use the tools and the Polyester Putty of Tamiya , both are an excellent resource.



Filling the holes before to assemble the tools with Photoetched.
