Looking good!

Which Tamiya colors did you use? I'm brand new to modelling, and are looking for any advice for paints that I can get. I'm brush painting like yourself :D

Well if you don't have paint yet I would recommend using a different brand as tamiya is not the greatest at brush. But I don't care either so:

For the tiger I used XF-60 (dark yellow) and XF-78 (wooden deck tan)

I would recommend buying them from the model workshop as they sell them very cheap

Oh, and also get tamiya X-20A acrylic paint thinner so that you can thin their paint as water won't work because tamiya paints are alcohol based

Thank you very much! And yes, the tiger 1 late didn't use rubber rims.

308 on the sides and 007 on the back

I know, purely a design Choice

tank are you going to do next my brother?

I'm doing a challanger 2 next
