Thank you, it's one of the better Tiger kits I've had a chance to build, the molding has very realistic metallic surfacing.

It's the burnishing compound, I love this stuff and probably over use it but thank you!

Wow... just wow. Makes me want to do better. A lot better ☹
Your weathering techniques are top drawer.
Have you hair sprayed ect to bring out the under layer or stippled over the top. Stunning work 👌

Thank you all - to Mr. James, the weathering is done by stippling with a bit of that foam packing sponge. Each weathered and rusted area is handled by multiple passes with different colors of darker acrylic rusts and metals. I use Tamiya Dark Iron and stay away from steel colors as they are too bright. The key is to go lightly with the brush nearly dry and use very thick unthinned paint.
Sometimes I go back over the weathered areas with the base color and perhaps some primer colors to give the impression of chipping paint over the rust.
I burnish when I am finished with Uschi dark iron, after I dullcote spray.
