Panzer kaput! Tamiya Tiger 1 restoration.

Wheely looking neat those wheels.

Whats the procedure for camouflage under the arches so to speak?

[AGKPeiper]

Lots of tidying up to do but the scheme is now clear.

I like it! The camo reminds me of LRRP camo from Vietnam. Unique and eye catching! Very nice!

Cheers,
Eric.

Thanks Eric.

You did that with brushes! Nifty! So did the Germans: heck, they even used mops and gasoline as a thinner.

[AGKPeiper]

Thank you mein Herr Dr.
Yup, no wonder they had the odd accidental fire.

Bit more progress, electrical this time. Headlights and machine-gun wired in.

Going to need to replace the plugs with new ones unfortunately. Anybody have a part number for RS or similar?

Also deleting the Feifel holes. I do not like this Milliput stuff.

Bugger. I'm going to have to disassemble a headlight as I've one with a ropey connection to the LED.

Still. All working at the moment for this wee video. Not too worried about the gun elevation issue as I need to sort out the wonky mantlet.

Hello,

if you have to open the headlights, then use directly warm white LED's. The light on your Tiger looks like a modern car with xenon light.

with kind regards,Guido

Thats a good idea Guido, thank you.
