Taigen Tiger 1 late production make over

[DasPanzer]

Hey guys thought I would start this thread on my progress so far on my project. I got this Tiger wanting to have a really nice accurate model of the this tank. I just pitched the ELmod fusion board for it and a few weeks ago I got some added detail parts for it as well. I installed the barrel recoil but I don’t want the air soft unit. All I want is the flashing light and the coax machine gun. So I got to figure that part out later down the road. I did add the turret ring today but I need to clean it up a little more. My turret binds when I traverse it. Any way here is the first pic of many to come.

Nice start. I've got a thread ongoing with a mid tiger detailed build. For late dont forget you've got to add the extra turret armour on the roof.

That was my next issue is there a add on part that I can purchase or does it have to be scratch built? I have read your thread and most impressive work BTW!!

Thanks boss. I've not seen one you can just buy. It looks like it has to be fabricated.

That’s what I was afraid of.....

Did you add all of the Zimmerit? I know that when you buy the late version Airsoft Turret, with the Barrel Recoil Feature, it has Zimmerit attached; but did you cover the hull as well? If so, well done.
If you only wanted a flashing light, then you've bought the wrong turret, I think. The IR version will give you an intense flashing light in the muzzle, plus barrel recoil. Airsoft (with no BBs loaded); zilch but the recoil and the bang.

Airsoft will still offer a red LED warning light, but that's hardly a desirable feature, as real Tiger didn't have one. It's there to warn that a BB's about to be dischaged. I guess, if you have concerns
about Airsoft because of kids and pets the warning light has a nominal practical value.
Personally, I like the Airsoft unit with barrel recoil- as it's more like the real thing, arguably, than the IR version. IR is for those who enjoy Tamiya-style battling in clubs.
For the present, it looks like a tank with amazing potential! V Very nice


Planning, and knowing what you want with a model, can save dollars down the line. Then again, playing it by ear- and improvising- can be fun too...

I am certain that I have seen at least one dealer selling upgraded armour for the roof of a Tiger 1 late but I have no idea who or where it was.

Some ideas here. There's an extra armour roof layer' at the bottom of the list, and might be of use. It's only 7 Euros (plus postage, of course)There are lots of other tasty extras as well.

Awesome!! But how do you order it? I think it might be easier to go Mid production lol
