At the back wall lacked now not more so many details, so that I decided to install the still missing parts also. That would be for one hand the pulling device and on the other hand this little cat eye left bottom.
With the cat eye I'll start; and again was a small piece of copper sheet used. This was cut out and receives bottom in the middle a small hole. There, in turn, was a pipe section soldered and then received it a cat eye imitation - but here it's already masked. Finally, above the cat eye the two holes for the fastening screws.



Here are two pictures from the final state of my cat eye.





Then I've continued with the pulling device - at first I wanted only to complete the hinted device from rests of polystyrene plates - but have this then discarded for reasons of stability again. Particularly at the rear side puts the Tiger during ascents and descents on. So I've ordered the pulling device from the Aero-Mate Tiger and mounted this. Pictures...



My pulling device was then also provided with a bolt and this then also secured against loss with a little chain and a brace.









So, that was it. At the end of today again a few detail shots from the rear, left side first...



…and still two from the other side.





So I'm finally ready with this rebuild and also very happy with the result - at technical changes lay the priority. More detailed evidence of success then later after the first use at the front line...
... Next time then only follow a few views of the Tiger, but because the bad weather only from the basement on the work bench.

Hotte,
Good Morning. Looks like a real tank. Not much else that can be said. Realism = Achieved. ;o)
warm regards,

Seriously, really cool job you did..Awesome!

Hello Eastern Front,

yes, that with the missing birthday gift - I'm so sorry.
But many thanks for your kind words to my tank. Some pictures will still follow.

Promised were at the end some overall views from my Tiger, but unfortunately only from the basement.
And here they are - without comment...





































After the project is before the project or so similar, but in principle right. My next project stands since around a quarter year in my basement - and at the appropriate time will it be to see here, in this forum.
Thank you all for watching this thread.

This build has blown me away as a newbie if I can achieve a 10% of what you have done I will be a happy man indeed well done!

Hello Edpanzer,

many thanks for your kind words, nice that you like my tank.
A hint from me. Take for yourself more time, do your experiences and very important - use the knowledge from this forum and I'm sure, you'll have success - more than 10%.

I would say this Tiger should definitely go into the MASTERCLASS build section ...you've covered all the bases internally mechanically...and that of meticulous detail

Excellent result Hotte

Hello Alpha,

Hello Alpha,

If the tank as a whole performs as well as your turret mechanism....He'll do well Hotte ...Top notch build in every aspect
