Tamiya Early Tiger 1 Static to RC Build

Post by PainlessWolf »

This showed up in the Post yesterday. I'm going to build this for a friend and convert it to 'Ready to RC' state. Going through what was sent, it appears to have almost every Aber and Wecohe metal add-on for the Tiger 1 so it's going to be fun ;o) It will get built along side the Stuart so some back and forth posting will occur.

I wish that was mine, oh well maybe one day, ;D
I smiled when I saw the illustration on the box lid of "131" clearly showing the headlights that in fact she never had. :haha: :haha:
Certainly they were not on her when she was captured.
I in concert with I suspect nearly everyone will be watching your build with envy and wishing you well with it Sir. :thumbup:
Shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Morning, Joe,
Sass has really helped to bring my hobby knowledge and access to kits and parts along a thousand fold. Building him a detailed early Tiger is the absolute least I could do. Thanks for following along! It's Friday so the fun begins again today ;o)
regards,
Painless

I'm looking at the whole thing as more of a pre-emptive strike on my idiot younger brother. This way, the next time he starts these rhetorical questions like, "How come we never see pictures of any of YOUR stuff, Mike?", I can point to this thread any say "THERE"S one right there!"

Just goes to prove why I'm the older, wiser, and better-looking brother.
