I just watched your video on the Trumpeter's version of this model. They both look amazing. But in your professional opinion which one is the best bang for your buck (i.e. Academy's or Trumpeter's)?
After 5 minutes I realised I had watched this before.. watched again to the end still. Wonderful to see the talent and ingenuity that these model makers have.
The one thing I love about watching? is your attention to detail, outstanding model made by an equally outstanding craftsman. Thank you for allowing us to come on this journey with you.
Great tanks but what made the king tiger, tiger and panthers nearly useless in the war was not the transmission but the petrol engine and that Germany didn't have enough oil to run them, that's why they got abandoned.
Geez, that was the same model I did about 20/21 years ago...fond memories!!! Mine is panzer grey (and now kept inside a box with my other models in my apartment)..EDIT: I realized when I saw the cuppola that mine is the early model (didn't read thoroughly the title LOL) with Feifel filters
I was digging through old kits I had from years back and I found Mid Production Tiger I kit....it is MIB and still sealed, stashed in my collection. I’m so happy to have found your video to inspire this build! Yours is a Wonderful build and we all appreciate the hard work you put into making your videos. Kind Regards to you David! Pat
I think I'd rather hear David narrate than to listen to music. I like how he explains what he's doing...and his accent. Thanks for another GREAT model David!
Nice job on the late production of the Tiger1. Alot of detailing,I can look back to RUclips and get more ideas for my tank kits. Thanks, once again, David.
Zimmerit - facepalm! You're a fucking genius,man! 1 tiny detail: The optimal track slack for Tiger is set when the upper part of the track touches the second road wheel from the front of the hull. Great work!
fantastic work, I haven't dabbled much with pigments yet. a nit-pick from a historic perspective, German tank tracks didn't rust. They would turn a purplish brown, but the high grade steel and amount of manganese. I enjoy watching your stuff, always learn something.
The music suits the tank. The whole time I'm watching, and listening, waiting for something epic to happen when the music picks up. Also, impressive paint job man. :)
Very good and high-quality work. But there are a couple of points that I would like to mention. First - the tracks on the front part are not fixed by anything. And really there was a bar fixing them. The second - metal rollers and really liked that the author reproduced their shine from rubbing on the truck. But! On caterpillars, such paths remain. In Russia, we often imitate this with the help of a pencil lead. I wish the author to always do an excellent job =)
I like how the tracks are more rust now and less gun metal. Hard to stay shiny if you are made of raw iron and is submerged in wet mud. I imagine paint on a track would wear off fast.
Super skills as always David. In my opinion the weathering is not overdone, it's just not done properly. The problem is people don't always look at photos of the real thing - only photos of other models. So we have the sooty muzzle brake, the overly dark wash, the black soot around the exhaust, the rusty spare tracks and cables, every edge rubbed to the metal etc. See if you can find photos of actual Tigers looking like that. Real tanks in the field just get very dirty and dusty - check out colour shots of modern tanks on exercises. And yet if you recreate that your model will look quite dull and uninteresting - and people may say it's 'unrealistic'! So I CAN see why people choose a more artistic approach. It is, after all, a personal thing.
Once again a brilliant job, I would like to add something to the conversation if I may.If this is a late model Tiger the outer road wheels were removed in Jan 1944. As I think the camouflage is around the time of Normandy June 1944 the outer wheels should have been left off, I am just saying and not trying to offend or take anything away from your work.I have no doubt that I am going to cop flak for this.
The outer road wheels were removed to prevent the build up of mud and debris. The interlocking design had a flaw, in that mud and debris would not `drop away`. In cold weather it would freeze, immobilising the vehicle. Also, maintenance was easier with the outers removed, not so many wheels to remove.
No this is a Late Production Tiger with Steelwheels, this is a Correct build. What you mean is on the Early Tigers, but i don't think so they left the complete outer wheels off, because it would increase the Ground Pressure, only the first one by the Sprocket Wheel. Only by Rail transport the outer wheel was detached wit a transport Track.
Hello, powertothebauer, please go to google images and type in (picture of german tiger tank in Normandy June 1944) there some pictures there which may interest you, or not.( I am not saying any more on this, I just would like to enjoy the video)
It does have the outer road wheels off. Steel wheel versions did not have the third wheel of the early Tigers. This web site has lots of pictures showing the difference www.alanhamby.com/tiger.html The model does however have the single headlight, which is late, but the two holes for the gunsight, which is early. It wasn't uncommon to see mismatched parts as they were field repaired at times. The roadwheels however are correct late war pattern.
Thank you so much for keeping in the part with too many pigments. It’s nice to see how everyone makes mistakes, and how they’re usually pretty easy to walk back.
In WW II it was understood as the best by the tankers on both sides. Stupid revisionists 'know better' and talk about the Panther which WAS the overly expensive mechanical nightmare (See Guderian). The average Tiger killed twice as many enemy as the Panther (10 to 1) AND crew survival was twice as high. It's heavy side/rear armor was 80 mm=to Panzer IVs frontal armor! The Tiger's very reputation and presence was unequalled by all but the early T 34.
I cringed when you started to cast the track links thinking you were going to do the whole tracks, what a relief to see you didn't lol, great finished model
Funny, was going to comment about how much I liked that rusty patina on the tracks, then I scrolled down, and saw a year old comment by me on the exact same topic...
Excellent job. The only thing I did find wrong is the zimmerit on the front horizontal plate. Only the vertical surfaces received the zimmerit coating on the Tiger I.
Had problems with the zimmermit, but you make it look eaay, ended up purchasing tamiya zim. Etching , tunes out well with some fitting, followed the rest of your steps thanks so much!!
Very nice Job on the zimmerit, great model.
Andy's Hobby Headquarters I have the same model
That Zimmerit is spot on

I think that when the people that make these models see what you do,it must be realy warming for them to see such art.well done.
How tf are people this talented amazing Camo Paint job!
Just bought this kit, my first one for some years. Your video will provide a great reference for me thanks for posting.
Nice job on the late production of the Tiger1. Alot of detailing,I can look back to RUclips and get more ideas for my tank kits. Thanks, once again, David.
You're an artist. I was GLUED to the spot!
Another masterpiece...man I could watch you work all day long! Thanks for the helpful tips.

Supreme Mr. Damek. Such realism is masterful, a true gift. Bravo sir.
Just sub'd man, really nice work on one of the most feared tanks of WW2, keep up the great work and i look forward to your next project. Well done!!
nothing cooler than a well made WW2 model, nicely painted.
you made that box-tank very beauty box-tank! :D
Box-tank exactly. I don't know the better expression.
PLASMO - plastic models nice video at the start
SU 100Y is Boxtank! :)

Андрей Ровенко круто он сделал да ?
My father once got me a Tiger model 1/35 for my birthday. I was so god damn excited, I finished the whole thing in one day/night.
WTF how real looks this ? :0. OMG you are a perfectionist XD
You are virgen
@@natalioderosa879 and so are you lmfao
Just wow, your love for reallistic details is outstanding.
So much time spent making the tank look "dirty" :D while in nature it just happens
I love the detail on here the zimmerit is a really nice touch
Just a question - zimmerit is not part of this model? Maybe that´s because Germans stopped using that in summer 1944.
I like how the tracks are more rust now and less gun metal. Hard to stay shiny if you are made of raw iron and is submerged in wet mud. I imagine paint on a track would wear off fast.
I love how you made the Zimmerit on the armor. That is an incredible detail!
I'm speechless by your amazing work your Tiger is like real 😮
Nice but did you fix the transmission. Lol
yea I think about 4 times lol
Absolutely stunning. Real talent here.
I was playing hoi4 when did popped up in my recommendations
And i dont know playing this game:(

Yes totally agree especially when I see model tanks with the hulls worn to silver etc. Where do you see that ? It does tend to be contagious sadly.

This is art....
Stunning!
Excellent! 10/10
May i ask, where can i find that kind of glue?
You can usually find it in any normal model or hobby shop for relatively cheap but easier to buy online
Thank you so much for keeping in the part with too many pigments. It’s nice to see how everyone makes mistakes, and how they’re usually pretty easy to walk back.
Great work and great video, Tiger 1 is a dream!!👍👏👏
This is korean product not china
Very interesting
Your attention to details is phenomenal. The weathering isn't overdone.
Zlatý...🇨🇿...ručičky!

tiger was a good tank, and you made it even better.
When you see a tank with 6 holes in it....

I'll say it backwards . . . .

Tiger 1 is the best tank of ww2 i think
Pz. Kpfw V was the best (my opinion)
far from it

Amund Herudsløkken in terms of killing power and armour alone, the tiger II would be better
The M4 was truly the best of the best
this is art at it's highest ... and the music isn't bad either ...
Fantastic job but I think the weathering is too much
I did not use mud. How can be too much weathering? :-(
PLASMO - plastic models the dust I think but believe me your videos was the reason of joining this hobby
Now, I am satisfied :-D

Maybe should of been in winter camo, with that Frost around ? Excellent build and skill as always.
A piece of Art,thax for sharing.
that is one nice looking model of the tiger1 tank Michael wittmann would be proud
I wish I had that spray painting device I'm not happy with brushes it's hard to paint and I have to paint about 3-4 layers for ideal colour.
Same dude. And its hard to get a good result with them
No with weathering stuff you can get awesome result.But it's really hard to get that result
Your rust and paint job is absolutely amazing!!!!
what an awesome video! i just picked up this exact kit. haven't done a model in 30 years! i got a lot from this vid, thank you!
Wow, a lot better than I made in my day... but that was 50 years ago!
Amazing something that was around less than 3 years is so iconic!
Outstanding video and presentation.
