Re: ABE'S EARLY TIGER 1 BUILD
With the fiddly parts nearly completed, i hope the top hull fittings go quickly so I can move to paint.
Despite years of idly sitting around, the compressor works perfectly and the airbrushes have been sonic bath cleaned.
Like most aspects of this hobby ( especially etch brass ) i am not very experienced with airbrushing so I shall be drawing on the vast wealth of knowlege held by you fine folk on this site. Honestly the level of work i see on these threads is staggering. It makes me smile.
Happiness to you all wherever you are. Local village beer festival this weekend so will raise a glass to you all and The Fantastic Plastic.
CHEERS.

Re: ABE'S EARLY TIGER 1 BUILD
They are obviously not meant to be exact, more like the interior I made...a general impression if looking in.
Bet the fan units cant be seen.

Re: ABE'S EARLY TIGER 1 BUILD
To my aged and uninformed eyes, those fans look just like the little fans atop some MFUs and sold for use with computers and other small electronics. If I am correct, some wizard is going to come along and create a Tiger I with running fans. Cool, man, cool!

They are indeed micro cooling fans but just for show. 25mm x 25mm x 7mm,
