Tiger re-build

[Woz]

I decided to fit some bushes to the drive shafts of my Tiger and before I knew it, this happened-





So while its in bits I thought I'd show all the mod's I've done to it.

This is the turret-

I sealed up the side and cut out the bottom


Then I added supports to make it more riged.

Thats looking great Woz. Is that milliput you've used on the zimmerit? Its a real paint getting thouse side skirts off isnt it!

Keeps the pics coming mate i love seeing other people "working out"

Good work.

[Woz]

Yep the Zimmerit is Milliput.

More turret mod's-

Swapped commader cupolar with one off a HL Panther, added a loaders  periscope and moved the fume extractor.




Added a lifting lug to the back of the turret-

I’ve done some changes to the airsoft unit.

The spring has been swapped with one out of a V’s unit and I added 10mm of packing. The barrel is a piece of aluminium tube (from B&Q) cut to length and glued into the plastic barrel.

Hop-up system.
I drilled a small 0.5mm hole in the top of the tube and filled it with epoxy resin, then filed it down so that it would stop a BB pellet from rolling through but wont stop it if you blow on it. This’ll give the BB pellet a bit of backspin.




The  barrel and mantlet are screwed onto the Airsoft unit so that it’s airtight and it won’t come lose.

I beefed up the suspension with some nuts, bolts and aluminium bars. Also I've fiited Tamtoys high torque gearboxes.





Started painting it-

WOW Great work, love the way you can change the Tiger to be different to most others. Very well done, can't wait to see it finished
