The armor binge continues!

I’d originally planned to follow the KV-2 and Cyber-Hobby M4A4 buildups with Dragon’s excellent Tiger I Late Production…but got a short way in before realizing that it called for painting some internal elements within the construction process. With the bench packed up, that’s a no-go, so back in the box for the Tiger.
