hi guys
here's another update of what ive done on my Tiger, i've modified the stowage bin, more to scale (i think) and added the rivet detail on the top and around the sides at the top, ive done this in readyness for rob's bin lids. ive also pretty much finnished the turret all i have left to do to turret is finnish making the mount for the micro servo i'm using for the elevation, and hooking that up to the gun, a big thanks to nigel for helping on this matter, if it wasnt for his experiance with servos and flying, fitting the servo would have been a bigger nightmare than it was.the last few photos show that i have cut the sides off the bottom and glued the sides on to the rest of the turret, so now you open the turret from underneath, this way you dont bugger up the zimm' when you open the turret, i got this idea from on here some where i cant remember who it was who done it 1st, but thanks for the idea.. anyway enough of the waffeling, heres the pic's, i hope you like them
