RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi all,

Newbie to the site and RC Tanks but I saw a members dioramas on the RPF site and thought I had to get a Tiger 1. £60 ( what a bargain ) and a couple of days later and



Great size.

So with an OCD itch to make it "better" I set about carving ( and ordered tons of detail parts )







Its a start..

That's all for now. Thanks for looking in

D

Looking good so far Abe

I started off with a £60 Tiger, I dread to think what I have spent since. lol. Prepare to see your wallet evaporate before your very eyes.

Cheers Merlin

I do have a couple of questions though if anyone can assist:

1. What length should this bit of the barrel be when NOT in recoil?



And does anyone have dimensions to build the early filter ( red circle ). Will be building it by adapting the mid one.



Bye for now.

Good Afternoon, Abe,
Welcome to the Forum! You have made a bang up start here. Looking forward to more pictures of your work as you progress with the build.
regards,
Painless

Yes as painless said a cracking start looking forward to the next installment.

Great start Abe, I'm looking for pointers as I want to smarten up my tiger but I'll have to see what I can build as my budget doesn't run to buying all those bits - still I love watching what others do and see what I feel competent enough to attempt. Will be following with great interest - lots of pics please. Alwyn

View these images directly, the forum is shrinking them;

David, many thanks for the pic. These are obviously very thin metal and take a bit of a beating!!

Do we know how many Early Tiger 1 tanks were made? I have ordered the Haynes Manual which I believe is based on the Bovingdon Tiger, which I read somewhere is an early Tiger. Hoping it is a good book photo detail wise.

David..how did you become involved with the tank?
