Hi... I am looking for the accessory parts { Tools} for a Heng Long early tiger 1... Can't find any anywhere. Does anyone have any for sale..,. TIA

Some are on eBay. Like this one HENG LONG RADIO CONTROL TANK GERMAN TIGER ACCESSORY SET FOR 1/16 SCALE PARTS https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 1447338964


But their prices seem way too high.

Hi Colin, If all you are after are the Heng Long Plastic tools then go to ----

5.95 Euros plus postage,

A reputable dealer who I often use.

The postage stays the same if you buy more items so have a good look through the list to get value for money.

Thanks guys for your help...I think I will go for the mato metal ones as most of this tank when its finished will be metal.. Thanks again...

I have this Mato set. Does anyone know how to make decent clamps for the tools? They now look like just placed on the tank.

Aber and Voyager Models make brass photo etch German tool clamps. The Aber ones are, I think, more accurate but more difficult to assemble. The Aber clamps actually work, but I would recommend gluing them. My experience was that running the tank caused them to come undone and I lost bits. I think the samer applies to the Voyager ones. Note that the clamp type differs between early and late Tigers.

I agree with Richard, The ABER Clamps do work but they are very flimsy and the Voyagers are simpler to construct but do not offer any great advantage over the ABER clamps,
I now use the Cable clamps, either large or small depending on the need, A little judicious filing will shape the inside of the clamp so that the tool handles are a nice snug fit, then a touch of brown paint gives the look of leather straps and so much simpler and cheaper. Dave sells both the large metal buckles (Cable Clamps) and the small metal buckles (Cable Clamps) both at £4.99 a pack as well as the ABER Clamps,
