Torro Heavy Metal King Tiger
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2016 3:56 pm
For front- and backlight was used SMD-LED‘s; here good to see the placement of the SMD in the middle of the backlight.

The new SMD in the front headlight.

The cable feedthrough in the rear plate…

My head switch I’ve placed now inside the tank, before he was placed under the wooden block for the jack – now I can replace the old block against a real wooden block.

Powered and controlled is my Kingtiger by ElMod Fusion Pro; mounted at three stay bolts and is covered by a little box of polystyrene plates.


A little addendum; on the track tensioner I’ve used like at my Tiger 1 also a throughout socket, this for more strength at the idler wheel.




For today’s final a little special feature. The original splinter guards by Torro are not bad, but they have a very big plastic frame.
Also the etched parts by Aber I don't like because there are the grids only etched, splinter guard grids with real mesh wire are more authentic.
To cut the frame for the guards is not possible for me – so I’d draw the frames and have the work commissioned; etched was from a 0,3 mm thick brass sheet.

With this part I’ve started…

…here all individual parts for one side.

The first edges were folded.

Then I’ve used again my copper mesh wire, here at folding,…

…inlaid in the frame and fixed…

…then soldered and ready.


Now still missing the fixing points, but so it would look later.

To be continued...
