Tiger 1 Full Option

Post by Spartan tracks »

Well I thought I'd never get round to owning a TAMIYA tank but spotted one on EBay for silly money, A good friend asked me to keep an eye out for one as they make good battle tanks, I was going to use my new Panther F but at 12.8 Kilos it would be as nimble as a sleeping snail so the two elmods I've ordered can go in the Panther F and Jagdtiger, I'll post pics of the Tiger tonight its in a bit of a sorry state but I'll soon get that sorted kind regards Andy

I guess but I like to keep my mind occupied otherwise it wanders of and worrys about my health issues and prospects, I have an amazing wife and as long as I'm not into much pain she's happy, But I do need to draw the line .........................Till I can find a 1/6th Elefant that is..........and yes my paint pots are fine Hermmm, lol

Well the pistol port has gone, the smokers are gone, fiefels are gone, new Coppola is on, new vents on turret to fit, spacing sorted for track holders which can be fitted when I put the Zimmerit on Monday, Also as its a late 43 tank so stock Tamy tracks are gone which were very tight in favor of some TORRO ones with ice cleats on, I'm hoping to get some paint on this next week Regards Andy

Well not doing much as health issues again but managed my first attempt at Zimmerit , Only i can't seem to remove the mantel as the dope that built it superglued the covers on and the pins, So I'll need to sort that, I've also managed to fit opening deck hatches, Still waiting for turret vents to come then I can start Camo.
King Regards
Andy
