Hi guys thanks for the warm welcome!!!
Unfortunately my digital camera is broken right now, saving for a new one, thus, my early pics of my 1/16 Tamiya Tiger-1 project has to be done with a HTC camera phone for now..
One feature i dont like about the Tamiya Tigers is having to remove the turret to re-charge the batteries, on my 2 others i built a system for re-charging them inside, without removing the turret, and also plan to do that on this project as well..
Also with this project im gonna dispense of the large speaker box in its rear,(place speaker itself in turret, it just fits..) and build a full engine bay, using the(Verlinden resin 1:15 engine kit)"VER1019", i'll have to add 3 filters to make it the H210 version) and fan/radiator,fuel tanks with open hatches, which can be done since the first Tiger-1s didnt use the complex filter system later used..(i've done my homework..

)
It will feature working LED lights, and maybe actual motorized cooling fans employing mirco-servo motors??? with lifting grills..
Ambitious,yes, but i believe i can pull it off..try to..LOL
I hope anyone intrested will enjoy the build as much as i do..Thanks fellas!!
MIKE
