About this detail of the Tiger

Dragon instructions

The instruction sheet tells you to colour the left side of the gun breech in silver. This is incorrect; the left side was painted the overall interior colour, and only the right side was left as bare metal [1] .

Correct pattern

This image shows the parts that should be silver.
