Nice job, several of the mods are things I considered doing but it is really helpful to see it done by someone else. Enjoying your build hope you are able to continue, Sax

long time since my last update on tiger rebuild, had one of those hachette metal mantlets laying around so i fitted it with a panther recoil unit and metal mato tiger barrel.

remove drivers vision port from hull with a sharp blade take your time me be alot of glue on it, then cut out the middel bits rebuild it with the vision port open. i used off cuts of old plastic card/rod on the inside,then filled it all in with model filler then sanded it flat. cost nothing
