A few weeks ago, I finally finished my 10 GHQ Tiger Is. I painted these up as 2nd Company of the 503rd Schwere Abteilung around the time of Kursk and beyond. I will use them whenever I need some Tigers for a game. This was a project that I started several years ago and took a bit too long to get done but I'm happy that they are done. Here are a few pictures.

Nicely done 👍 The turret numbers look good, impressed with the rings on the barrels and nice wash and weather effects. You should be proud of those. |

Pete, always liked your Dunkel Gelb color – is it out of the bottle, or a custom-mix? |

Thank you all very much. Joe – The tactical numbers and the crosses on the side of the tanks are by Flight Deck Decals. FlyXwire – For my Dunkelgelb, I use Humbrol #83 Dark Yellow with a bit of #34 White added to lighten it up a bit for scale. Humbrol is an enamel of course but I'm sure you can find a cross reference to another brand if you are using acrylics. |

Captain Pete: Hunbrol also does acrylics in the squeeze bottles now. Airfix now distributes the line. My old Humbrol acrylics came in plastic tins and they dried up quickly. I am happy to see them in squeeze bottles like other brands. |

Pete and Tom, thanks for the info on Humbrols – and sure I've got a few of those dried up tins around here still – but now new acrylics!. |

Thanks very much again for all your very nice comments! I appreciate it. Tom, I have heard about the Humbrol acrylics. I have not used them yet. Currently, I have a good stock of the Humbrol enamels which I plan to use. I do appreciate the heads up though. I am currently working on some more Panzers for my Afrika Korps. I am filling in a few gaps most notably the Panzer II component but also some short barreled Panzer IVs as well. |
