My late Tiger conversion (Taigen)

[LordLudikrous]

I recently found an old phone of mine and was able to recover lots of old and forgotten photos from its memory card, and as it happens one of them is a photo of this tank in its original configuration. I have no idea what I was thinking with that paint scheme but had to start somewhere I suppose.



Note the upside down mantlet, recoiled gun and misaligned cupola. How far we have come.

Oh the famous night camo!

Your Tiger has turned out really great, top marks to you for persevering with the long build.

Fascinating thread. I have a Taigen Panther heavily modified by people with far more expertise than I have and in the 4 years since I bought it has been a total nightmare drivetrain wise but I refused to be beaten by it. Finally it is running great but I just realized there is not a single part from the original tank that has survived to it's current state. Turret,upper and lower hulls all replaced, wheels,sprockets gearboxes tracks everything is new
