Building a full metal Tiger

Post by Rusty »

Hello. Has anyone made one of these successfully? I have the bottom hull, turret, gears, wheels and tracks, just waiting on the main top piece for the turret to mount on.

I have the full metal rear hull on the one I am bashing together at the moment, I wasn't sure about the metal upper hull, seems it would be tough to correct the errors, easier to grind down plastic? Post some photos

Hi. I will take some pictures tomorrow. I have enjoyed it so far, I should have taken pics from the start really. I have the Mato metal upper hull and I have had to make adjustments to it to get it to fit, and more are needed. I will see what I can post tomorrow.

It says the file is too big to upload, and that is just the first photo. How do I get around this problem?

Rusty, try a web photo upload site like
Photobucket.com it's free and they compress the images for the web and give you the proper code to insert it into the forum :)
