All the cool goodies done right

Where did you source the correct "C" hooks? I haven't had good luck finding good ones.And that Jack is nifty too. Where is that from? I currently cannibalize different jacks to get what I want then fab mounting brackets but I'm never 100% satisfied.

Your DIY zimmerit is most impressive!

Centering the turret not only looks better but I'm sure made the addition of the turret ring easier than what I went through.

I did work up a crank starter handle but haven't gotten around to mounting it yet. Your tools look great as well.

Your whole Tiger is a great accomplishment as well as motivational material for a Tigerholic like myself.

Cheers to a job well done!

Whoa , steady on chaps .
O.K. first the HB 1/16 Zimmerit tool , no joy yet , all the others seem to be for smaller scales , but AFV club do roller types - in several styles -

Second , the jack is included in the Voyager PE 16009 set ( You still have to make a few parts from styrene , - the body , foot and crank handle , I also added a wire lifting handle ( There was only one on late version apparently , the Voyager instructions say two - the set is 'Mid' )
