I, too, bought a Taigen Tiger 1 hull from Steve and it's a lovely piece of kit. Only one problem - I can't get it to sit right at the front end - i.e. the front of the sloping glacis plate sits a little proud of the nose armour at the sides - and the bottoms of the sponsons also hang down a little. Of course none of this would have been an issue if I was simply screwing the whole thing together like the old HL chassis and top. Anyone else had this problem?

Hello there
I have (fairly) recently purchased a Taigen Walker Bulldog M41A3 light tank and I have to say it is a nice bit of kit - cracking paint job and a nice little runner to boot
Just for sake of difference I have done mine out as a Warhammer 40000 tank - Kreig Deathkorps to be exact, and it looks pretty cool (O.K. I may be a little biased

).
Anyhoo, hope this clears the waters a little...

I've got 2 Taigen Tigers and I love them, I broke the rear idler off of one of them, probably my fault for pushing it abit too far on some very rough terrain, but apart from that, they are superb for the money. Great weight, nice to drive, and supremely powerful.
