Thanks, oilman! No, that's the latest Tiger I 1:35 from Dragon but it's the first one with zimmeritted texture. Tamiya has yet to produce one like this. But Dragon isn't the first. Italeri did this before with some of its Tiger I variants.

Thanks, Jagdpanzer4 for your kind compliments! For this one, Art Instructor didn't have to zimmerit it, so it's an easy task for him and it takes much less time to build. I prefer my earlier Tiger Is which he zimmeritted by hand:





It looks more natural to me than what Dragon did with its kit.
