Hi Have Taigen and HL moved the turret ring into the correct position on the tiger? Nice upgrades going on here, filling the gaps round the mantlet is a good fix. The mudguards are ace.

I do not think ? In case ? Here is the modification to perform,
Before

Hi, again…

Oh, awesome blueprints for turret mod... I think that I could to live with a wrong positioned turret, but this plans are very exciting
Thanks for them…

Now, I show you the new work on my tank… I opened the snorkel cover for to place smoke unit's oil feed tube


First, I cut the cover…


Second, I drilled two 3mm diameter holes for magnets, and I put them into.


Third, I closed the hole with plasticard, to seal it from dust (also, I will put a toric joint in hole). Center hole is for oil tube


Finally, I covered all job with original cover but, now, it's movable. In the cover "ears", I put two small metal pieces to grip with the magnets, obviously

Thanks for viewing

OK, good work

Chris Ludwig used to offer a conversion kit that was a pretty simple way to relocate the turret and didn't require any major surgery. I cant see it on his website anymore but if you're interested it might be worth emailing him.

Thats a nifty trick making use of that otherwise superfluous part

Hi all

This is a second part post about snorkel's cover. I made the hinges as real ones are ( or I tried to reach it)



Cover closed with two articulated axles joined by two vertical arms.



Cover opened with the upper axle working



Finally, cover opened with lower axle working

Thanks for viewing... Stay safe
