Nice! This is probably one of the most accurately detailed Tigers I’ve ever seen.

Hi all Jimster i just get a notion or idea about making it better, your road wheel flange is an example of how a little change makes a big improvement.
Herman i bust the MG ring so looked at the other builds , HL is 2mm thick ,Tamiya is 1.5mm and the nice trumpeter static Panther is 1mm. The Schumo MG holder had to be filed slightly to fit the Tamiya KT .
Back to the build never liked having to push the rear in to lock the top half , fitted 2 struts to line up the locating notches. Going to try some Brass Black metal finish for the brass and copper hope it stays blackish.
Fixing the rear plate in position to lock easily.

Brass Black is good. I use it on my muzzleloader builds to age the brass furniture.

Hangers were wrong for position on turret, fixed and added locking handles.
Fixed bar the zim, need more tracks for last 3 on other side.

Hi Max thanks for the offer, Son of a gunner has sorted it out . I used this , bad move as copying something that wrong is a waste of time.
Hobby Boss fail , should always check. Nearly messed up my build.
