Tam-Long Late Tiger (WIP)

[chrisbids33]

I've been going through my boxes and found enough parts to build a hybrid Tiger. The main chassis and turret are Hen Pong with Tamiya electronics (T01). Spent about £50 on Evilbay for late Tiger bits and (after telling the missus I was doing DIY in the garage) managed to put together a half-decent version. The paint job looks over exposed in the photo's - it's much more matt in the flesh and came out quite good. I've also got another electronic unit in the chassis which I'm going to try-out tomorrow - photo's to follow. Few more bits to sort (numbers, skirts, rear-end, etc) - I was considering leaving the skirts/front mudguards off though, as it looks 'different' without - opinions ?

Let me know what you think:

Nice one, paint looks good. I geuss that in some circumstances the mud flaps and skirts would have been left off. Nice work.

BLOODY hell it's burning put it out  . Now that looks good and I like the mean and moody look of the Tiger with out any frills. To be honest I am going to go that way with mine if I ever get my others finnished. Good work and keep it up
