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 !!!
The front mudguards are positioned a bit too high but that can be easily fixed and some aditional battle damage and this tank is just perfect !
I will post pics a bit later !

Ahh..that's the final battle Tiger in the background. I have that one too and like it almost as much as my 1:16 second issue FOV KT.

From the pictures I've seen to date, I'm not sure that the upcoming 1:16 scale Sherman will stack up with its predecessors.

Trex; come on guy - you're doing a "Tank-Nut" on me now !!!!!!!!!!

I cannot see thru the "background" murk, lest GLIMPSE 1/2 a barrel from a 88-L/56

I fear "T.N's" pix have caused lasting damage ????????

Alright, sorry to pull a 'Nut on yas! I'll post some clearer pictures for you. In the meanwhile, here's something I drew to tie you over and it's STILL better than anything TN has ever posted:
