A Tiger in the desert.

[Agent G]

This is the Rye Field kit I built earlier this year. I dug up the commander from my spares box. I painted her to look like Tiger #142 in Tunisia early in 1943. This tank met her fate by being blown up by the US Army. 

 

The real #142.

The end.

Looks good. What did you use for the weathering/dust?

[Agent G]

Thank you.

I used Mig pigments and some oil paints. The wheels are strictly pigments and I layered the oils on the hull.

Nice looking Desert Tiger.  They sure are placing a lot of explosives Under that tank!

Great looking tank. I would like to see it on a diorama base.
