As is my wont, I've been mooching around on the 'Net and the archives here, and found a Tamiya Tiger 1-'late' version being put together for a friend, by a wegie member of RCTW, 'Tankmad'. (note: my Mum's also a 'wegie'- Scots slang for 'Glaswegian'
)
Looking at the result- albeit through links to the annoying Photo-Highwayman of photosharing sites- Photobucket- the results make me want to begin buying a few of the bits Ad Lav listed.

- Tamiya Tiger 1-late version-the wheels
edit: perhaps I should add that these bespoke wheels were supplied by Guido Henn (a member) of henntec.de
In the meantime, I've just ordered some Taigen metal wheels from Forgebear, and these other turret vent detail bits:

I noticed that Steve, of Welshdragon, said these wheels were once marketed by Asiatam. That being the case, then the ones I've just ordered for £30-ish are being sold by Asiatam for 80 Euros.
In which case, I've done myself a favour. In any event, I couldn't really trust the Asiatam claim that these would fit the Tamiya Tiger 1 (implied: with no adaptation)- well, not to the extent of 80 Euro's worth of trust.

) Taigen late Tiger 1. This now sports a metal turret with the Airsoft Barrel recoil feature. It actually does spit BBs and recoil at the same time.
