Tiger I Initial // Construction Complete!

Still waiting the new airbrush so I will keep building.

Okay. Another Tiger I, isn't this so redundant? Well not really when you consider the different variants of the Tiger I, different theaters of operations and different paint schemes. This Tiger is one of the first 20 ever made and saw action outside Leningrad. Differences between this one and the Late model I built below are: rubber dish style roadwheels, lack of side skirts, thinner turret armor, smoke launchers, different headlights, different exhaust system, different hatches and commander's cuppola and the lack of zimmerit coating.

This tank had very few photos of it taken. There are two I know to exist and they show the tank with a white striped winter camo over a panzer gray basecoat. The other early versions were solid gray.
