- I built the Italeri No. 6507 scale model kit. A Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger I Ausf. E mid production with Zimmerit. This mid production tiger tank was most likly manufactured between september and november 1943.

Kit History:
In short: It's a mix some old Italeri Tiger sprues and some new ones from 2012. (scalemates.com)
This kit by Italeri is one of my favorite Tiger kits because it looks good and the cost is minimal and its a easy fun build---------a winning combination every time.
It was fun to build and I still have the finished model around here - on the downside it has a lot of major issues like the shape of the turret being completly wrong. I can understand both sides - it is a great kit but it does not stand up to getting a book thrown at it ; )
The name of the tank sounds so much better when you say it 😊
German guy😊
I just bought one. You’re tutorial should help me a lot. Mixing your own dark yellow. Wow! Awesome job. Thanks
Thank you for the great build . Learn something every time I watch your videos. Nice job
Thank you : )
That turned into a stunning model. Very well done and presented tutorial.
a very great build and a paint job was excllant
Very nice work indeed it looks great keep up the great work
A nice kit a nice build to a very nice standard.👍
Thank you : )
Great TIGER I , I like very much how you work it . 🎩👌
Thanks mate, that one is very beginner friendly : )
I love it :) you make such good stuff i love watching your videos :)
Thank you for the interview. I really wondered if this Kit from Italeri actually had Zimmerit because i doubted it in that price class, but now i am assured its actually with Zimmerit. Now i`m going to build my first Zimmerit Tank.
Thank you. Have fun with it, and share your result if you like. Glückauf mate!
Btw, your Channel is geoblocked for me in Germany.
Very nice work 👍
Thanks. Can't wait to build another tiger.
Looks great love the camo
If not a work of art it's pretty close in my book. You got a lot out of that Italeri kit.....not always the best quality. The color modulation definitely adds an effect to the end result. Look forward to seeing a panther or king tiger in your next build. Keep up the great work and keep the German armor coming!
Thank you. Will a Jagdpanther or Jagdtiger do for you as well? I'm still not having any "big cat" tank kits and more important no literature about them.
@@Tankbrusher Definitely. I would like to see you build any late war German armor maybe even a paperpanzer. Not only interesting technology but some interesting camo schemes as well!
I was working on a Trumpeter E100 (with a horrible fantasy turret), wracked it because of hard-edge, non-modulated camo and wrong hairspray. I need some time to get my skills up to late war camo and making large uninteressting surfaces interesting on these huge vehicles. This is why i don't do them yet. A Skoda Hetzer is on my desk atm, if it turns out well, i will try a bigger one. Skoda had a relative complicated factory applied camo, that will be my entrance into late war for now.
Very helpful,I want to paint my two tanks I bought from a garage sale years ago.They were fully built already but no cammo coloring.
Thank you. I'm sure your project will turn out well!
Beautiful work!
Thanks José!
Nice job sir!!!!
Thanks!
Original Italeri, 1994 tool + upgraded parts. Reboxed by Zvezda a few years back. Although I chose to go with a Dragon Tiger mit moulded Zimmerit because the time period theatre and version I wanted to model required Zimm, I like older kits too, especially their price. They can still build into a nice model as illustrated here, and are generally as much if not more fun in the doing...unless one has to apply Zimmerit o,O ' ] Good job! P.S. A point of note relative to my previous. Out of interest I just checked. In my country Italeri 6507 is currently available, its price is *favourably* half that of a Dragon Ausf E Tiger.
From 2012 Zvezda is producing their own design model of early tiger 1.
@@CatEatsDogs The Tiger was one of Zvezda's earlier new mould armour releases. I have a few Zvezda armour kits. From that experience I have mixed feelings about Zvezda 1/35 armour vs their competition. Their moulds are much improved on their predecessors, but relatively spartan, so they need to keep the price down. Zvezda's newer 1/48 air is of a significantly higher standard to be competitive and very appealing at its pricepoint.
@@theblytonian3906 Here in russia we also have mixed feelings about zvezda. But zvezda is cheaper than its competitors. Sometimes it is cheaper to use zvezda plus some aftermarket than use its competitor with aftermarket addition. And its new designs are more qualitative than old italeri repacks. Except the new m4 model. It has a terrible turret geometry. Most of russian modellers are believed that zvezda is oriented to the domestic market. Most sales are going through kids supermarkets. So no PE inside.
@@CatEatsDogs Thanks for the local orientated info. I get that. Zvezda is trying to reinvent itself as the Airfix or Revell AG of the east with their targeted marketing, packaging, distribution & new mould or extant reboxing releases.
Unfortunately, when exported internationally Zvezda start to rise in price sharply, particularly in my country not so much due to import tax or bulk shipping cost, but due to regional single line distributor greed. By the time the (r)etailer adds their modest margin, that distro middleman has killed any value orientation in the local price point value.
Re quality. I concur. The general mould dimensions and detail are superior to Italeri and Airfix (Academy) reboxes in the main. Problem is (speaking armour here) not only are Zvezda currently up against far superior offerings from traditional standards like Dragon & Tamiya, but newer entrants like Border and MiniArt who have lifted their game to incredible new heights challenging even Dragon and Tamiya. Then there's Trumpeter often at equivalent price points to Zvezda, but of superior quality and inclusions. e.g. Their entire KV-1 series.
At its current level of inclusions, general absence of slide moulding, absence of moulded in Zimmerit where Zimmerit is essential for the model & period, and relative absence of detail, brittle thin & awful to work with plastic, Zvezda needs to market on a VERY appealing price point. If undeniably eye catching, the new bright yellow brand associative with eye candy artwork reboxes aren't fooling anyone but casual adult modellers and kids.
I think Zvezda's Ferdinand and Elefant kits are decent, and they can compete with their T-34/85 due to the dearth of anythign decent from other manufacturers generally of that type in the marketplace. Their new T-34/76 variants (now 3) similarly. And their SU-85 was welcome as well. I own all of those and have built all three, so my opinion is hands on based. I got them for a good price through keen selective sourcing otherwise I wouldn't have.
But restricted to buttoned up only OOTB with zero internal detail nor crew figurines, and only link and length tracks with no continuous run DS type option nor single link option. I understand the absence of the latter, but pretty much everyone these days realises that apart from a niche pedantic few, most hobbyists and modellers abhor building single link tracks, and equally, even if more difficult to attain the correct sag more prominent on those with small road wheels and return rollers, e.g. PzKpfw III & IV, with other types with large road wheels many prefer simpler and faster assembly good quality continuous run (e.g. Dragon DS) over link and length. Tamiya and Trumpeter include both, even if Dragon has gone to standardising upon DS.
Zvezda need to offer a reason to buy their armour kits, and at their current moulding standard, it's price point appealing to the better than Italeri or Academy modeller happy with the level of detail or modeller on a tighter budget prepared to spend the time and money improving the model with rudimentary inexpensive means. Otherwise, it's just easier, smarter and costs the same or less to just buy something with all included OOTB. YMMV, but that's the triage that determines where my money goes.
Very nice build m8.
Wundebar!!!! Nice job sir
Thank you : )
Awesome 👍
Very good job!
wow! I'm building a Tiger I right now and i was wondering what that thing (gun travel lock) was. i was going ask the question here but you pointed right at it and said what it was! lol. so far i haven't put it on my tank, because i wasn't sure what it was and i don't see many Tigers with it on.
Good
Thank you!
nice job!! those paints were artistic acrylics?
Great build nice review of the italeri kit,had my eyes on that but i wasn't so sure about it. The paints you have used are all oil paints? And how did you thinned them for airbrush use? Thanks for sharing,keep up the good work. By the way i liked your vid +1 to subs, can't wait to see more builds from you.
Hi, thank you very much. My next 1/35th scale model build will be up in about two weeks, meanwhile I'm upsetting everyone with my radio controlled car ; )
The paints are somewhat artist grade acrylic pantis, i made a video about that: A different approach to paint... I'm still using them and I'm still happy with them. I use oil paints too, but only for weathering, not for the Airbrush. (The artists grade acrylic paints work because they are highly pigmented and can be stretched a long way compared with our hobby paints. I use acrylic medium (= paint without pigments) to streach them and water+isopropanol alcohol as a thinner)
@@Tankbrusher thanks for the info, one other question i have is because i have not an airbrush in my possession, do you think that is possible to use the same acrylics with a paintbrush thin enough without leaving any brush strokes? And how long those colours need to dry approximately? thanks for your time.
No problem, you are very welcome. I would highly recomend you getting a inexpensive chinese Airbrush and compressor kit. There is no real way around it, unless you use spray caned primer. And they are not very expensive nowadays(less than 100€). I did of cause use these acrylics with the paintbrush too, they are made for this in the first place, but a plastic model does not soak the liquid in, it is not a canvans in the end. So we rely only on the self leveling ability of the paints and they do not perform as well as some other types of paint in that. I do know 2 component industrial epoxid paint to compare against - no brushmarks even in thick layers. Acrylics can't compete with that for example. On the other hand, a friend of mine painted about 100 afv models by hand using these Revell or Gunze enamel or lacquer paints. They dry much slower and are well self leveling, his models look like airbrushed, no brushmarks at all. It is more a choice of the right weapon for the fight than possibilitys. Acrylics are the master of none or jack of all trades ; )My Acriylics dry withing 15min, I sometimes extend this time using glycerol and if I'm painting a tabletop figures I use a wet kitchensponge underneath a small piece of backing paper als a pallet to prevent them getting too dry too fast.
If this does not help you, please write again - i will incorporate a demonstration in my next build - but that will be at least a month from now.
@@Tankbrusher no that was ok pretty explanatory, i know the technique with the wet pallette, idk maybe i consider the investment on an airbrush, but first i will give it a try after a coat of primer to see how it goes.
Dam only 2% battery I'll be back
made my day xD
@@Tankbrusher he he sorry about that ☺ it came out great for an italeri kit, I also do the same thing for colours I use tube acrylics. I only really been modelling 2 years and survived on 6 colours red green blue yellow black and white, it's all I needed really. It's refreshing to see somebody else work like me, And get the same good results. Best thing is you actually can pronounce the names correct 😆. Have a good day champ
Greetings from Belarus! Very good job and great painting!
I also make tanks and vehicles only during the WW2. Looking forward to your builds. I suscribed!
Thank you Bastmaster 757. I'm looking forward to your next builds as well!
@@Tankbrusher thank you and welcome!
Great build but a bit of an odd duck of a tank. It has the mid production turret but it seems to have the fifel air cleabers on the hull.from the early model. The zimmerit doesn't bother me that much as it ciuld be applied on the field. It could be one of the first mids tgat maybe used an early hull that gad not been used yet or it could be a tank rebuilt by the mobile repair shops using the components of the 2 different models. Another example of this were some of the early panzer IVs being given new turrets affer thd original one was damaged beyond repair. With the new turret the crew enjoyed the advantages of the longer varreled 75mm gun.
Thanks mate! If you stick around my channel, you will see some better done Tigers in the near future, I'm starting with the VK3601 next week and will progressing through them according to the development. Learned a lot about these vehicles since I build that Italeri one. This kit has some serious issues, but still was fun to build when looking back, so no point in beating a dead horse from my side : ) Fifel filters and Zimmerit are common mid August till December '43 ~ 200 of them can be in question of this combination.
水贴纸是217号坦克的么
Italeri recent boxings of the tiger 1 late and hybrid also have pe
Interessting. I'll keep my eyes open for them.
The Tiger is look like early version not mid version
I was not able to nail it to a date, some features are mixed up when we go by the list on missing lynx. Maybe it was a repair return ; ) Early with Zimmerit is not likely to me if I weight it as a more pronounced feature. My younger cousin identified it a Tiger in my shelf - mission accomplished xD I have a better Kit: Prototype with Vorpanzer for a future build. Unfortunatly most kits have errors due to hastly restored originals they copied from, Italeri is no different here
It is a mid version. You can tell due to the late war cupola on the turret mixed with the early war rimmed wheels. So in this case Italeri was correct.
Nice build you have.
This kit seems to be a bit of an enigma. The turret is from a a mid production tuger as it has the newer lower cupola but it has the fifel aur cleaning filters of an early tiger.
The zimmerit doesn't bother me that much as it is just a past that can and was applied in the bthe field as well as the factories.
Their were case where this combination was made after the repair shops recieved ranks wherd either ghe turret or hull were just to badky damaged go be repaired so if they could rebuild a tank out of 2 different models they would. It was dobe wuth the panzer IV as well. Their were examples of older short barreled turrets that were replaced with the longer barreled 75 mm guns that made taking on the T34 and KV1 much easier.
