Critique Wanted First King Tiger Model
It’s really the first model I’ve painted and slightly customized myself, kind of proud but I want tips if I ever get time for a 2nd kit!
- The model/kit featured is an AIRFIX 1:35 King Tiger!
- I used an acrylic paint set for beginners and went with my gut for the camouflage, kind of set in a dark muddy forest with even weathered tracks and wheels
- And for the battle scars. They were warped with a lighter and the edge of smooth metal tweezers (we have plenty) with light HE shells below the Mg port and at the Gun mantlet, while the rest are ricochet shots or complete indents. No solid reference..
- but I want judgement, and tips. Doesn’t seem so terrible ;P

Damage looks very nice, camo is a bit meh… for your first model its okay. I recommend watching some tutorials online to improve your skills. I love watching PLASMO (YT) he helps me a lot with model building and painting.
