Good morning, Tiggr,
Off the top of my head ( and remember, the newer kits being brought out of _different_ tanks have more plastic in the makeup ) there is the Lower Inner Hull and all of the mounting hardware inside it. All of the Suspension components including arms and bushings, All of the electric motor gearboxes and mounts (4 of them), the metal gun barrel and turret mounts. There are four different Parts and Stays bags that contain metal pieces as well. All of the metal in a Taimya Tiger ( and some of the plastic hull and turret components ) are screwed and bolted together, not glued. This is just off the top of my head. Both Mikes and mine to come have an increase in metal parts added, brass and sprockets, idlers, etc.
regards,
Painless

Tiggr,
The supplied tracks from Tamiya are excellent and accurate to a fault. I plan on running mine until I need replacements. I will look at a set of the metal IMPACT tracks from ETO at that time. Mike sent me a set of the Wecohe aluminum wheels for an early Tiger and I'll be running those on mine. They are so light tho' that they feel like the supplied Tamiya wheels.
regards,
Painless
Aside from the track weathering, Mikes Tiger is done. ;o) I'll do a Show Off thread here soon. Will try to add some video ( not sure how that will work ) Pics:

Archer wet slide decals from Mike. A little early but since these tanks went from Tunisia to Russia, it's doable.

Good afternoon, Gentlemen,
Thank you for the Cheers! I'll get a Show Off thread going with a video clip from either the phone or camera ( if the Tech Gods allow ) I'm waiting for our current spate of bad weather to clear out this evening. ( 80 mph winds and hail ) The sun should return tomorrow and allow me to make progress.
humble regards,
Painless
