Tiger from Riga

Post by EddyK »

This Tiger is my second tank. It's BB version with sound and smoke. I have made some modifications as metal tracks, metal cuppola, metal headlights, hatches, metal LED machine gun, new tools etc.

But let photos to speak!
There's the tank at the beggining:

Thanks, guys! Theese are my first tanks. I enjoyed to work with them a lot! It's just pitty, that I don't got enough skills and no instruments to paint them by myself... But it's next level I hope to reach... Fortunately I found one modeller who can help me with colouring tanks...

Eddy,

Good looking Tiger ! I know I saw it somewhere on the forum before but what kind of hose did you use for the exhaust ? Is it flexible enough to leave on when you flip open the Tiger from the front (i.e. pivot off the back panel).

Hi
just looked at the length of the inner exhaust pipe on your tiger 1 (i assume?) and it looks like ¼ inch longer than on my kitty ! When the turret rotates doesn't it rub on the rear bin ? I was also wondering if your commander hatch is at the correct angle to the loader's hatch ? Very nice paint job ! Was that with an airbrush ?
