ABE'S EARLY TIGER 1 BUILD
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

Re: ABE'S EARLY TIGER 1 BUILD
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

Re: ABE'S EARLY TIGER 1 BUILD
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?
