Hi all,

I was just looking at Tamiya's tiger 1 and was wondering if anyone knows if the frontal armour plate with the drivers view port from the Tamiya kit will fit the Heng Long Tiger without too much alteration?

I prefer the more accurate machine gun mount and drivers open hatch, and this is the cheaper option than replacing the upper hull.

Has anyone else tried this?

Thanks guys

Hi Ghost.

I think you are just after the front glacis plate.

The Tamiya parts will fit - although maybe a little too wide. You can buy the sprue with all the right parts from ebay - usually from Japanese sellers.

Thanks tanks,

I found a few on Ebay, not cheap, but much better looking than the standard heng long glacis. I guess I can cut it down and filler any gaps.

For anyone else who is interested in doing the same. The parts needed for the entire glacis are:

C parts 0005791
D parts 0005792
E parts 0005793 x2 (this annoyingly is just for 2 tiny wing nut clasps for the hull machine gun cover - you could probably get these elsewhere cheaper or make them)

Thanks again
