That is nowhere near enough information :haha: :haha:
Where in the World are you? Where did you buy your Tiger and why a Tiger 1?
Do you have plans to build a particular Tiger 1? (Early/Middle/Late) or a particular Tank within a particular Abteilung or Regiment because we can help with lots of information. 8|
Will you be upgrading it, and what other Tanks will you be getting, (OH YES YOU WILL!)?
Have you been interested in any other Model building or Radio Control?
Do you have the tools for a build and if not we can help if only you ask,
We love questions. :crazy:
Before I go PLEASE read the BLACKLIST and the RECOMMENDED DEALERS list,
Oh, and Welcome to the Forum :thumbup: :wave: :thumbup: :wave: shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Simon Hi, If you really are after a late model Tiger 1 reg I would start with Wikipedia and type in Tiger 1, Stand back for more information than your printer can handle!
Especially useful is the book references at the bottom of the page.
I start with an Abteilung using Late Model Tigers serving in a part of the World at the time I am interested in, and if more than one was in that area better still.
After that you make your choice and start searching the web for any extra detail on your choice of Tank and then to PEDDINGHAUS/ARCHERs to find the relevant decals.
And don't forget the Forum, plenty of information here to help. :thumbup: shaun

Questions well, I got into buying the tank through playing WOT online, but ive always been very interested in ww2. I bought it from gumtree for £50 and im in the middle of painting it. I sprayed it a sand colour and now im hand painting the camo. Ill put a few pics up soon. I fancy an easy 8 next with a metal hull.
