Italeri Tiger I

I picked up a box of the easy to assemble war gamer friendly Italeri Tiger I, with two tanks per box. While I like the completed model, box art showed each tank with zimmerit applied; unfortunately the actual model inside does not have this mid-late war feature added. Aside from this, I am pleased with the kit, an easy and inexpensive way to add to my Tiger I complement.   While lacking the detail of other manufacturer's kits, they painted up nicely. Note added track and the pair of helmets hanging off one of the turrets were added and are not part of the Italeri kit.

I haven't posted in far too long, and have not enjoyed the time to do much painting.   Nonetheless, I have managed to complete some AFV's for Normandy.

The vehicles are a mix of Ready to Roll and Raventhorpe, with Britannia crews; you'll see the SPW Flak20mm still requires a gun crew to be added.
