Keep up the amazing work and how the ******** did you make all of those small tiny minute fittings that go on the side (it would drive me nuts just trying to glue them on LOL)

Nice mate I put the lips around the front hatch holes and added the turret protection ring and as its a HL I had to centerlise the turret base.

I know what you mean ! Lol I have completely de longed it lol I've moved the turret ring back and fitted brass rings in the hatches and what a pain it all was! And everything else that is wrong I ground off the hull till it was bear! Even fitted a tamiya front armoured plate on it witch was a 1 mm wider! And I had to trim to make it fit!!

Hi mate you have to move the turret 15 mm I read . The turret hole I moved 10mm and centerlised the ring on the bottom of the turret this added another 5mm giving the 15mm . the rings I used the rim of a plastic bottle to make the lip .

I no what you mean there but luckily Im Useing a tamiya turret that's 5mm shorter! And it's allready central it fitted just rite with the engine bay cover just missing the turret!!

Sounds good mate my two HL Tigers are mothballed for now one has the asiatam tub. And with having a Tamiya turret your rear bin ends are the correct angle and you have the space for the rear lifting lug . I altered both my HL bins and lowered the rear hole as much as possible and added the lifting lug. One infact had opening bin lids .I also altered the escape/loading hatch because on the later versions with the turet protection ring the lower half of the hing was removed . The earlyer ones were cut down hinges with the bottom part cut of through the bolt hole , the last ones were purposly made with two bolts .I will look forward to more of your build
