Tiger Time-line

CHRONOLOGY

This project incorporates the following vehicles, each of which has been seleceted as a typical example from example of their month of production.  One or two months of construction have been 'assumed' on strengths of their features from the evidence available, but they have also been chosen for variety and interest.  I have tried to avoid too much unit-repetition in order to stimulate interest and develop skills in painting different camouflage patterns and level of weathering.
