Well I thought I'd never get round to owning a TAMIYA tank but spotted one on EBay for silly money, A good friend asked me to keep an eye out for one as they make good battle tanks, I was going to use my new Panther F but at 12.8 Kilos it would be as nimble as a sleeping snail so the two elmods I've ordered can go in the Panther F and Jagdtiger, I'll post pics of the Tiger tonight its in a bit of a sorry state but I'll soon get that sorted kind regards Andy

Did ya ever think mate that IT might have spotted YOU
Conspiracy theorist in me says your Mrs is feeding your habit to keep you distracted

Two a week this last month......................

Have you arranged your paint pots correctly or are you still running amok ?!

I guess but I like to keep my mind occupied otherwise it wanders of and worrys about my health issues and prospects, I have an amazing wife and as long as I'm not into much pain she's happy, But I do need to draw the line .........................Till I can find a 1/6th Elefant that is..........and yes my paint pots are fine Hermmm, lol

After a few days work this is where my October 1943 Tiger is.

Well the pistol port has gone, the smokers are gone, fiefels are gone, new Coppola is on, new vents on turret to fit, spacing sorted for track holders which can be fitted when I put the Zimmerit on Monday, Also as its a late 43 tank so stock Tamy tracks are gone which were very tight in favor of some TORRO ones with ice cleats on, I'm hoping to get some paint on this next week Regards Andy

Looking a very different beast. Nice work Andy.

Thanks rich I just hope she drives as nice as your Tamy Tiger regards Andy

getting a real feel for this one, going to be real sharp

This is where I'm at 331 Mid Tiger supplied to Ss ABT 501 in late 43.

Well not doing much as health issues again but managed my first attempt at Zimmerit , Only i can't seem to remove the mantel as the dope that built it superglued the covers on and the pins, So I'll need to sort that, I've also managed to fit opening deck hatches, Still waiting for turret vents to come then I can start Camo.
King Regards
Andy
