Hi Rob,

I'm sure Tony (Oz) said that the width of the zim pattern on the hull is different to that on the turret.
Drop him a PM he'll be happy to help.

Cheers

Hi andy no worries on the fibre optics

have got the stug re-coil unit and elevation gear for the tiger as its smaller and will fit the turret better failing that ive made a small gearbox and may use a brass screw to elevate the barrel if i go that route will post a how to ;) ;)

thanks for the comments guys it all helps :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great job fv432

I can see there has been many hours put into this great build. Wonderful attention to detail. How long has it taken for you to get to this stage ?  When do you think it will be completed. Looking forward to further installments.

Cheers.

this build has been going for an eternity but the asiatam lower hull speeded things up a bit

im guessing total man hours at about 2 weeks over 2.5 years :o :o :o

hopefully by cobbaton ;) :D :D :D
