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! :thumbup:

Cheers,
Eric.

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

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 :wave:
