Now those are a nice touch.
Grenade screens? if yes, then nope not likely but still cool as hell.
So I put them in, though reprayed with a normal silver rather than the chrome type finish before.
Also built the fuel tanks...
This is what i was working towards...kinda
So as I thought
So remove the yellow tape temporarily holding the fuel tanks and glue into place, having establish nothing fouls when mating the deck to the body lower. I can now seal her up finally and screw the turrent into place. Must admit i enjoyed these invisable parts.
Onwards and sidewards...
Thanks for dropping by.

I do not like them. Way too large. They will be coming off and replaced with the Aber units. The resin parts in the picture are part of a set of brackets for the Tiger 1 and 2. They are not accurate, look oversized and are not a complete set for the Tiger 1.

I will not be using the set i have.
The track cable is a very springy steel. I can see this putting strain on the brackets so will be using the kit i found in me Tiger parts box. No idea where they came from.
The Track cable, was not part of the FC model set, but a set i bought many years ago. May be Aber. I did try to anneal it but it did little. So abandoning for the material rop pigtured which will be so much more easier to use and inflict no stress on the brackets which will be superglued to the tank.
