Tiger I (continuation)

As promised, here are two photos of the Tiger I tank. It was in a horrible state when it was first bought from the previous owner and now looks much better with high end quality paint and heavy weathering. I used Tamiya product.
Front view of the Tiger. Tigers deployed to the North African theatre however had minor differences compared to standard Tiger. One obvious difference is the frontal part on the fender. This particular Tiger I is a generic replica of the Tiger I turret #712 fighting in Tunisia.

Aerial view.
A much better view to see level of weathering. Notice the homemade National Socialist Germany's flag. The accessories have been applied with maximum weathering. Most of the accessories are after market accessories as previous owner seemed careless with the model. Roughly, the model lost 70% of its parts and accessories. The good thing with this is I was able to buy it at a very low price.

This is the real thing, notice the #712 on the turret. The tank is currently preserved in the United States.

Its wartime photo. Amazing.
