no-one? i cannot tell if the 3rd (widest)ring is a part of the component or an un-textured weld as this part changed shape over the course of production i also lack any clear shots of this part from the side

Hey Dasiy,

What year or what Tiger are you looking to build?

I just looked through TIGERS IN COMABAT I and II and A MODELLERS GUIDE TO THE TIGER TANK and from what I see the vision slit is a simple round over with a slit in it.

I'm still looking at some other stuff so hang on.

Here is a picture I found and they all seem to be the same to me. I could be wrong....it happens

Hope this helps!!

so far its a generic tiger i have just been detailing it up to a more realistic(at least in principle) look than the hl stock tiger i have a few vehicles in mind i would like to create one of the tigers from ss panzer reg totenkopf in a winter wash i lack an airbrush so im going with a vehicle that has does not have a complex camo pattern and the winter wash looks good applied with a brush

Oh now I like that Idea! And you are right not having an airbrush is in a way a blessing for doing that whitewash.

Here is what I have done on 1/35 scale TIGERs. Over the base coat use a wide brush and dab on the white. I assume you are using arylics. Give it about five minutes to dry just a bit, then go back with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and gently swab and remove the wash till it looks great!

You'll have a hoot!
