Airfix Tiger 1 Starter Kit 1/72 scale model Part 3: Weathering - using just what's in the box!

Unboxing and build (in real time) of Airfix's Tiger 1 1/72 scale model kit, Starter Set. This is a challenge to build, paint and weather the kit using just the materials in the kit (the glue, three pots of acrylic paint and the brush), and no other specialist modelling tools. See more at: https://robsmodels.co.uk/airfix-1-72-... Once the tracks had been painted black I also painted the rubber tyres on the road wheels. This was a lot easier on the original (non-Starter Set) release of the Tiger 1 kit that had separate wheels and "link and length" tracks. This made the build itself more complicated, but made for much easier painting; as well as having a lot more detail on the tracks themselves. This Starter Set format made building a lot easier, but as the sacrifice of detail and painting it. However, after a few coats of black, and neatening up with the light brown the results were passable for basic painting. The tracks were then dry-brushed with the metallic iron to keep it a dark metallic shade, with the lighter metal highlighting the areas that will wear the most. The dry-brushing technique was also utilised on the wheels, as well as areas of wear on the main hull. This concluded the main build of the Tiger 1. Decaling was a quick a simple affair, with only main numbering and crosses needed. These went down well, as settled over lumps and bumps using just water (no setting solutions!) Once the decals had dried I used the light brown and black together to make a darker brown, which I watered down to make a wash. I painted this around areas that would wear, and also where there is detail - wiping away the surplus. This simple weathering process helped bring the model together, mute the colours, and generally give it a less model-like look. Ultimately if you want to build a 1/72 Tiger 1 tank I would recommend the original release. Though it doesn't have the paint, glue and brushes; does have much better wheels, tracks, extra links for armour, tow-ropes and other details. However, I would like to think that it is possible to build a model of reasonable quality with no modelling tools using just what is in the box. The only issue is that Airfix have not made clear how to utilise paints, and that will have a massive detrimental effect not only on the model; but the modeller who may be disheartened from the result.
