Hi Chris,
She's looking great. Did you get that tow cable sorted. If you cannot get the plastic cable you can get metal cable in hardware shops by the metre. You can get just the loop ends online quite cheap. I have the cable from panzer 111. The end loops from them might be ok. You can have them if they are any use. If you need plastic rear mudguards I should have a set somewhere.

Sorry to hear about your hands. I know these thing can be so painful. I've got tennis elbow and golfers elbow in both arms at the moment. Not being helped at all working on my big tiger. At the moment it getting hard to move the turret. This thing is so heavy.

Regards,
John

You could have helped with the tracks. All individual and held in place with tiny split pins. Two boring evenings. Had the first track finished and found I had not put washers under the split pins and had to start again. I also have 532 nuts and bolts to fit to the road wheels. The instructions take a lot of thought.

i say it must be very enjoyable being able to put all that together you should make a trailer for it

[Johnf]

I think I will need a trailer to carry it. My car is too small. I went to collect it by car from the Isle of Man. Barely got the boxes in. Had boxes on the front seat also. Have to see if I can get ammo here. It uses 12 guage shotgun blanks.

Are you using a smoker in your Tiger? How is your sound?

[raven]

hi john i dont have a smoker im not really that bothered with them as my tanks are only stuck on a shelf the sound is pretty much ok i told myself awhile ago thats it no more tanks i bought a h/l pershing without electrics and gearboxes last night for £30 all i need for it is tracks i just cant get away from them
