nice photos on that link brel, heres some i took when i last went to bovvy, the photo with yours truly in it, i have to apologise for, but i was like a kid in a sweet shop, when i got there they were fireing 131 up and moving her, being up close to her when she was running and being moved is something just incredible, something i will never forget

Re: close up photo's of Bovingtons Tiger 1
Just what I have been looking for, getting those quality close up detail shots gives us that opportunity to get our Tigers looking authentic. The rear air filter pipes were always a mystery to me, the plastic tube never looked right, so spent hours wrapping thread around mine and gluing it in place, then painting it. I thought I had it right until I saw these pics and see the spiral raised lines running down them? Dammit...start again!
