Taking a good look at the build of the Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.E Tiger I in 1:35 scale by Dragon, what jumps out at me is the weathering. The way Pikasso applied it gives the model a real lived-in appearance. It’s not overdone, just enough grime and wear to suggest this tank has seen some action. The subtle streaks and worn paint make it feel like it could drive right off the desk and into the battlefield.
A fun tidbit about the Tiger I: did you know it was considered a heavy hitter during World War II? From what I’ve gathered, its 88mm gun was legendary, feared by foes, and respected by allies. While it wasn’t as fast or as nimble, its sheer firepower made it a formidable presence on the battlefield. It’s kind of amusing to think how such a beast is now adored by model enthusiasts worldwide.
What makes this model stand out is the attention to detail in the weathering — it adds a lifelike quality that draws you in. It’s fascinating how anyone can use a brush and a bit of paint to bring such a historic piece to life on a small scale. It’s a great reminder of the unique and creative world that scale modeling offers.
