Extreme metal 1/16 Villers bocage Tiger I

I just received this baby and i can tell you it is awesome, if i had any doubts, now i have none, this tank is just perfect, so heavy & real, i would like to change the number insignia to white and add a bit weathering with my airbrush and give the tracks the rusty look but other than that i really like this model !!!
I read somewhere that there is no detailed interior, that is not so, when you open all the hatches everything is there, the whole interior in detail !
The front mudguards are positioned a bit too high but that can be easily fixed and some aditional battle scars and this tank is just perfect !
I will post pics a bit later !

Re: Extreme metal 1/16 Villers bocage Tiger I

...the toolbox, tools and the fire extinguisher need a repaint, mg wooden handle as well, some rusty, dusty look and some battle scars and this tank is perfect and as i said before, the interior is very detailed indeed, Wittmann needs a skull on the visor cap, sleave eagle and the W-SS insignia on his panzer jacket and that would be all !!!
Charging my camera battery and i will take a dozen of pics !!!

...sorry, the first pic is a late version Tiger in Snegiri, outside Moscow, will go there next week and take tons of pics and the other is a color photo which i like very much, eventhough i suspect it is a black & white recolored photo !!!
