I've 3d printed a 1:100 (15mm) Afrika Korps Tiger 1 model, with the Feifel air cleaners, from TigerAce1945.

I've given it new, more detailed running gear, and added a commander's head and some spare track on the hull front. Looking at it now though, I can see a few other places where it could benefit from some tarting up — it's missing the prominent seam around the turret top, and also the seams between the individual side skirt panels. I've remodelled the STL to include those details, but I haven't reprinted it as yet.

In spite of my powerful hatred for waterslide decals, I'm pretty pleased with the way it's turned out.

That's a nice legally distinct Tiger 121. 1/100 is a bit small for me but I like it!

Fantastic model and really great painting of it  :-*

Any chance to get the STL as this version would be great for my Sicily Tigers?

If you look for TigerAce1945 on Thingiverse, you can find it in his Tiger Pack.
