The build can first begin when I also got the colour and the Weathering.

I'm searching the web for information about colour and especially the colour they used on this Tiger tank in Tunisia 1942.

It's somehow yellow in colour.

It's called Sand Yellow. or Sandgelb. The number designation is RLM 79. Vallejo and AK Interactive make it. Tamiya has a version they call Yellow Brown. Vallejo and AK Interactive have Afrika Corps paint sets.

Have fun with that beast. Does it come with ammo?

No ammo included in the parts.

However there is companies who makes extra parts to models.

Found this page

Not to forget-A big thank for your information about the colour I need.

On my shelf I have a Tamiya M1A2 Abrams mbt 1/35 scale. Pre painted as they looked like in second Iraqi war.

This 1/16 Tiger tank will be the first 1/16 I build and it will also be the first Axis model I'm doing.
It has always been in scale 1/35-Modern or WWII Allied.

Aha it's not only the paint I need I also need special tools.

The head of the screws is very tiny and my precisions screwdrivers I have is a little to big.

So I need smaller-Wonder where I can get this, 'cause I don't know what they are called.

I guess I need tools who is made for watches and wall clocks

Plenty of model tool sets available online but the better ones tend to be expensive.

I manage to find a even smaller screwdriver-Fits a little better, but not perfect.

Have made first two wheel.

You're looking for precision screw drivers.

Try to get a whole set, phillips, flat blades, small hex drivers, etc. in various sizes.
Sets tend to be less expansive, although you pay for what you get in terms of quality. You could order a set on line, but try looking in some "big box" stores and "national chain stores" and you may be surprised.

A good set will last you a lifetime and they are considered de rigueur as you get into more advanced types of models.

That's going to be over-priced (and really not what you want).
Let me do some digging and I'll post some links of what I find.

Here's a basic set I found on Amazon. This set will set you back about 12 US dollars.



A good range of sizes and types and you don't really want the type with a separate handle and head tips. They tend to get wobbly when you need it least.

https://www.amazon.com/WORKPRO-10-Pi...NsaWNrPXRydWU=


Here's a nice set in the 20 dollar US range:



The handles are shorter (which is something you want) although you have to "lock" the tips into the handles with a set screw.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0972Q1BWQ...NsaWNrPXRydWU=



Here's a good "bargain" set at 7 dollars US. Don't sneeze at this set. Its really good for what it is. Short handles and a nice selection of blade sizes.



https://www.amazon.com/Screwdriver-E...%2C286&sr=8-12

Like I said, try to find a set locally before you go online.

I have the last set the 6 Piece precision screwdriver set. And the smallest of them the 1.4 mm is too wide.

I thinking of sanding of 0.2 mm if it's possible.

There's many type of screws I shall use and 54 of them are very small and it's here my smallest precision screwdriver is too wide-around 0.2 mm

Thanks for providing links to help me.

Edit
I found a set of 11 precision screwdriver-The smallest flat blades 1.0 mm then 1.2 mm and up to
4 mm.
End edit
