Andy the last thing you need is someone to come along and pee on your parade BUT here I am :{
There are a couple of faults with the Tiger 1,
Not I hasten to add anything to do with you!!!
The Heng Long, Taigen and Torro Tigers all suffer the same easily fixed errors,
They all have TWO MOULDED SPARE AERIAL HOLDERS on the rear flanks one each side and they should only have one on the left side and nothing on the right(LOOKING FROM THE FRONT)
The other error is the early model Tiger 1 from these three makers has the CUPOLA mounted wrongly,
If you scroll down to TIPS & TRICKS and go to Sub page 3 you will see an entry marked -"TIGER 1 CUPOLA'S" I promise it is an easy fix and you will have done it quicker than it takes you to read this,
shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
