Jumping forward, the tracks were installed and afterward I added the skirts to both sides. Incidentally, I installed the tracks much like the real thing, by running a string across the top of the road wheels and pulling the track through to the drive sprocket. I really like using these individual track links!
Also you can see that after I finished the skirts I applied some faded green splotches. I've researched Tiger 712 for many, many years and have finally agreed with several long-time researchers that this tank was field-camouflaged to break up the desert tan color. I may be wrong to conclude this and my father never spoke about what color the tank was other than it had the black cat on the forward plate.
