Tamiya 1/35 Tiger Tank Early VersionThis German Tiger I tank model was built from a Tamiya 35227 kit in January, 2014. Although the instruction told me to paint as a African Corps Pz, I still decided to add red-green camoflage, which was roughly painted by my brush. Therefore, at the end I had to use some Tamiya XF-1 enamel to cover those colors. As for my standard, it was not perfect enough.
