One day rebuild tiger 1
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:59 am
I have been bored and as a result of moving home soon i thought it was a good idea to clear up all my spare parts and get them together before they get lost.
But after spending last night sorting loads of old bits i could see i had the parts to build a Tiger 1 out of all the old scrappers i had and so i have slung this together.
The electrics are burnt out so it is atm a non runner but i think i have found a rx13 to fit in there and this i will mess with tomorrow.
The tank is made up of 3 old scrappers that had been broken by my kids years ago and i kept the remains as spares and i am glad i did.
Its not the best thing on tank earth but i did build and paint it all in one day and i even used any old paint i had here to get the colors.
I just mixed the color in the airbrush pot and painted it along the lines of Tiger 121 but as it is clearly not modeled after 121 i used the number 112.
Anyway,as i said,its not great but it is better than a pile of random parts,well maybe.
