Re: Tiger1 (BOB)
I love Tiger tanks ( as Tiggr will vouch to ) Is this a Taigen? I see the correct headlight guards and trunnions yet the rack bar to hold the front track segments in place is missing. Paint is very nice!

Re: Tiger1 (BOB)
Adrian Hi, Is this the Tiger 1 you were asking about for Paint ?
I ask because if it is, your description of it being a Late model Tiger is in error as it clearly has both the early Wheels and Cupola as well as the complete Feifel Air cleaner system in place.
Of itself it is not important but it will matter if you want to use a particular Paint scheme that was used by a Tiger Late.
Trust me you will keep looking at it and mutter.
It is easy to change an early to a late and there are plenty on this Forum for you to use as a reference.
But as Painless says your Tiger is a good looker as it is.

Re: Tiger1 (BOB)
Very nice, looks to be a Taigen or Torro, the butterfly screws next to the bow machine gun, the HL doesn't have these.

Re: Tiger1 (BOB)
Nice Tiger mate, looks like the tracks are a bit tight though, check them in case I'm wrong but too tight could kill your gear boxes

Re: Tiger1 (BOB)
Hi guys.
Thanks for the kind words. My mistake it's an early version Torro with metal gear boxes on 2.4ghz. its the BB version. witch after seeing videos i am going to change to recoil with a Clark TK22-T1 board and two servo system for recoil and elevation. Any idea's on where to buy from.
Thanks
Adrian

Re: Tiger1 (BOB)
It's worth having a look at http://www.rctankelectronics.com/, operated by Ian (Tankbear on here). He has recently introduced 3d printed servo operated elevation, recoil, or combined elevation/recoil systems, ranging from £10 to £25 plus postage, including the necessary servos.
