Updates to my Early Tiger I

[HERMAN BIX]

You see Gents I need the Russians to take the blame, so I can then launder the proceeds & divert them to more tasteful outcomes !...............Bourbon it is not- T.N. sippin whiskey it is indeed and as fine as any VSOP !!

HA HA HA HA HA Welcome to the madness Micky

These PE sets can be infuriating to put together, but, as I hope you can see, the results are worth the persevering with it for.

Have fun, I'm sure you won't regret it (too much ) and you know where I am if you need any help

I have just ordered 2 sets of tow cables, so will be getting to grips with these and the convoy lights I have also ordered over the next few weeks

Hi all,

A bit of a slow morning today, so I decided to have a go at fabricating an armoured cover for the turret ventilator on my early Tiger. Here is a few pics

looks great

It is a bit fiddly at times (each of those turret bin clasps is made up of 6 separate pieces) and I do end up swearing a lot, but I am a bit of a detail junky

I have just ordered some working rear convoy lights for this and my other Tiger, and also my Pzr III.

Scalawag been looking for convoy lights forever, WHERE do you find em?

Hi Marc780

I got mine from here:

http://modellbaugasse.de/shop/category_ ... =cid%3D%26

Mine took a good while to arrive as Heike was ill and could not send them out to me. They come as a plastic kit with an led and resistor. I have not gotten round to putting mine together yet.

There are also these ones for the Tiger:

I think RCTank.de also have them for the panther G.

and An-Bri-RC have this for the Pzr III/IV:

I am thinking of getting a some of these to use instead of the plastic ones from Heike as I think they might be a bit more robust for battling. I didn't realise that they would be plastic kits when I ordered them . Very nice detailing on the plastic kit ones though.

Hope this helps

After much deliberation I decided to try out the kits from Heike, and I like the results. They are fairly straight forward to put together and have good detail too. I'm glad I gave them a try now.

On to some pics then.
