Thanks Ice, Still lots to do. Hull needs more weathering but I want to get markings and numbering on first. Plan on a lot more interior detail also. Motors are in and all running well but having the sound system looked at in the factory. Having a full length floor made up also. Need to assemble the blank firer and fit the smoker. Will be running soon.

How is your King Tiger. A friend has a mark 1/Armortek hybrid. I might be helping with some renovations on that soon. He is having an engineer look at the idler adjusters at the moment. Some improvements might be called for.

Hi John, as to my kt ,I've started on her again , but looking at making a metal bottom hull ,it's a mod a few of the uk tank club lads have done ,

The one my friend has is mark 1 bottom hull wheels with armortek upper hull. It's a lot of weight up top. Not sure what the drive is. Gear drove but not armortek. Mmmetal tub sounds like a good idea. I want a KT after seeing it beside the Tiger. Will have to keep saving.

Big arnt they, the main reason I went for the kt was there's not many at the shows we go to , I've heard that over time the mark1 kts can sag and warp the hulls and the wheels tow in
, so if your mates not going for the metal tub get him to block it up of the tracks when it's parked up for long periods

Thanks Nick and Tim.

Firstly I decided to repaint the interior which had been painted a light ivory. Also I have received a supply of very nice decals for all the little interior details. Still lots of interior parts planned.
Also, working filler caps for the rear deck. I had left off painting the rear deck until these were fitted.





























Sorry about the photo overload but it's been a while.

One word John, OUTSTANDING
regards, cliff

Nice touch with the pin up in the turret! Bawidamann, IIRC?

Well done John, Looks very much the part,now how do you shrink your self down to 12" so you can enjoy the ride? Really makes you want to sit inside and experience the fine details.

This has been a very popular build,and so much of the details you have added reflect a skill and attention to detail that make this a Masterclass Build. And you the master builder,Really well done.cheers

Thanks Blake. You have your little addition in there. Still a long way to go. I have a list if jobs to do 1 1/2 pages long. I intend to get lots of value out of this build.

If sny body is interested, the Tiger 1 and King Tiger will be attending the Duncannon military festival on 2nd and 3rd June. Location, duncannon, co wexford, ireland. Some 1/16 tanks also and hopefully some more 1/6 vehicles. Might be some sales also. Come along and bring a tank.

If you need details send a pm
