Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I Ausf. E (SdKfz 181)

[wildcard03]

Steel-rimmed roadwheels identify this as a February '44 or later model.
Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine coating is applied.

Detail is great. However your 88mm gun seems very short, might just be the FOV... Mind if I ask hwo you textured the zimmerit...:confused:

very nice wildcard! detail is excellent :)
I hope you dont mind me saying but you might want to check your references on these features -

It looks like you have the turret and wheels of a late model tiger but the hull of an early version. I believe the late versions had only one headlight mounted in the centre of the glacis plate.

As well as this the Feifel filters were deleted on later models.

Also as far as I'm aware Tigers did not wear zimmerit on the upper hull and turret surfaces.

Overall, it's a superb model and really captures the powerful lines of the tiger!

From photos I've seen, you are quite correct Gareth, but I think they did have zimmerit on the turret mantlet / sides and hull front, glacis, sides and back. I think the feifel filters and twin lights were only on the early production, the smoke dischargers were replaced with the anti personnel mine launcher by late production.

Beyond that, great model, Wildcard - nice details!

:confused: How do you make the Zimmerit, modling or texturing?

Can you tell me from where you get the blueprints?
