Hello to all,

I already have a Tiran 5 in my collection; but now I've startet to build another on in order to develop the Tiran-5-conversion-kit.
At the moment, I assemble the lower hull and road wheel suspension. The plastic- and 3D-print-parts are already ordered. I will post an update, when the first conversion-parts are assembled.

have a nice evening

Good morning to all and thanx for compliments !

The complete Tiran in the second picture is my first Tiran. There I have made the mud flaps as scratch, made of plastic sheet. In the new edition, they are made of 3D-print (material "strong&flexible" at Sphapeways)

Today, I will post more pictures. The storage basket at the rear of the lower hull is finished already

have a nice weekend
