Tiger 1 engine air intake

[Franz Hack]

Hi all.

i'm detailing my HL Tiger 1 and I need measures about engine air intake in it.

I removed the Feifel system and now, I need to make the air intake.

Could someone bring me a blueprint or sketch about this part?

Thanks in advance

Is this what you speak of? Or would you rather scratch build

Hi
Thanks for the advice...
It is interesting (it will depend of shipping cost), but I couldmake it by myself, if I will get some blueprint or good sketch

Thanks again for your help, c.rainford

Hi Franz, If you go to----
www.rctank.de/ACCESSORIES-25-s4
And scroll down to the bottom you will find what you want in the middle at 2.95 Euros plus postage beside it is the same item and a pair of front hull supports for approximately 5 Euros plus postage.
I hope this helps.

Postage aside, a man couldnt make one for less.

Hi
Jarndice and Herman Bix, your knowledge about shops in our scale costs to me a high price !

Thanks, I saw the ítem and it is exactly that I'm looking for.

By the way, I have noticed that the bolts seems too big over the plate, but I have not found a good photograph about this real element, and I can not compare both. Have you noted this issue?

Thanks in advance

Franz I have long searched for decent photographs of the plan view of a Tiger1,a Panzer 111 or a Panzer 4.
The Panther and the Tiger 2 have plenty of good overhead pictures available which is a puzzle to me,
There are very few good pictures of the Engine bay grills or of the in-situ different patterns of Air Filter,
My own thought is that with all the previous air cleaner fittings which filled the area now removed, the solitary replacement plate sitting in a now empty space gives a false impression of its size because there is no longer a field of reference,

Not sure how you will proceed. Here's a nice view of the engine air setup

May this be of help....

hello

Yes, It is very useful, but it confims that bolts in metal plate are smaller than those in kit item

Thanks a lot C. rainford
