Hi Guys

Is there a link or has someone done a build from scratch listing the parts needed for a tiger 1.

or does someone have a list already compiled waiting for the question to be asked


Thanks

Rich

Not sure what you are looking for Rich... Tiger 1 detail parts can be found just about anywhere... most vendors carry them...but if you are really doing it from "scratch"... it means you build everything from scrap parts.. plasticard...etc...

Good luck with collecting bits for your build

LOL maybe I got the scratch build a little mixed up... I can see it now an egg box body and drinking straw as cannon... I meant a list of parts from the advertised ones I wouldn't want to forget something.

In my head all I need is
metal hull
metal wheels
metal tracks
upper hull
turret and cannon

IM sure there are lots more bits

Dang Rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...you don't mess around .................. ...Metal everything..you may as well buy the package deal made by Mato... think you can ask forgebear....or check with WelshDragon

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY TANKING

I suppose its not all metal although the new mato all metal look very heavy lol...

I have asked forgebear about tank kits and all though he can come up with the goods there not my colour ...I could over spray but am worried about ruining it . unless there is any one near me that can help me spray it ...

I thought about buying a henglong and upgrading but I would prob just replace most parts anyway

You could also look into Taigen...it's about 70% metal on the deluxe model ...it comes out way cheaper to buy the whole tank than piece mealing the bits to put one together... ask Painless

Happy Tanking Rich

Yeah It was a Taigen full metal I was looking at

That's a great looking tank... though keep in mind...no matter what brand you get...they all have to be tested lubed and tweeked a little
Not sure if the Taigen has the metal wheels on your wish list though...but it is chocked up with lots of metal goodies

Good Luck Rich

Happy tanking

Thats weird thats almost the exact one lol.

Hmmm.....

Hi Alpha,

That pic you just posted looked intriguing - but I think it's the Hachette 'Build Your Own Tiger' if I'm not mistaken.

From some personal experience buying parts off the internet - and as can be seen from the photo - a real mixed bag (or 'Curate's Egg')!

Just checking...
