Re: First HL Tiger 1 rebuild.
Interestingly I fitted a Mako 2017 and double relay to my Torro Sturmtiger. It cured the hit wobble and the death throws, but the recoil on firing is exactly the same which is a pain. I was hoping it would cure this as well.

Re: First HL Tiger 1 rebuild.
Very accomplished for a first crack at 1/16.. or any scale, for that matter. I like the little bits of battle damage too; they’re quite credible. This bodes well for your next project

Re: First HL Tiger 1 rebuild.
Thanks for the comments, the tigers more or less complete for the time being. There’s a commander to paint and s-mine launchers to add.
The saw has already attacked the pantiger so I will start another thread for that one as it goes along.

Re: First HL Tiger 1 rebuild.
Good luck! I thought of going this way. There was one of these (Gra's Panther) on an Aussie RC forum and it looked pretty good, but I think the photos (almost) disappeared with Photob*ck&t.Aljones34 wrote:John
Thanks for the comments on the tiger, asiatam recoil unit is now working great. It was more operator error than anything else. Track recoil has now been sorted using a mako 2017 and double relay.
Now to start converting a pantiger into a Panther Ausf A using inspiration and following Estnische great build.
