Early Tiger tanks - Heng Long

[Saxondog]

Welcome Nigel,seems you have some interesting projects underway.Look forward to seeing your photos.What problems are you having with the upload? The Photos have to be the right size,and if you use quick reply the download option is not available.You can select Full Editor and it will the bring the download option to the left hand bottom of the page.You must select browse,once you have then selected a photo,then select add the file,once that is done you have the option to add comments about the photo.Then select add the file to place the attachment into the post,repeat these steps for each photo.I generally select add the file for each photo then before selecting submit select place in line for each photo,at this point the photos will appear stacked one on top of the other,just go from top to bottom selecting place in line.Well look forward to seeing your photos, Cheers Blake

Welcome to the forum. Nice job on the tanks. You can see a lot of time and effort has gone into both models so far. Look forward to seeing both at Luton. Keep up the good work.

Hi Nigel, I know its been done on a RC model but with the Panther G and the chined mantlet , Ive never seen any wartime pictures of one zimmerited . As the chin came in during September the same time zimmerit was stopped . You could back date it to a early G by removing the chin on the mantlet and by altering the rear exhausts like a A model then it could be zimmerited . If you look at my Panther A build in the HL section you can see how I did it . As Ive chopped up a Pantiger tub and added one of Daves Panther G recoiling turrets . Ive also bought one of Daves a RX18 set ups to replace the old RX13 board . Although Im no good with electronics hence none of my tanks having elmod or any thing like that fitted , well not yet . Theres still some scale issuses , but Ive chopped the Pantiger tub up compleatly , narrowed it , altered the rear panel angle , altered the Tiger style sides so I could zimmerit it down to the suspension , made the storage bins , engine hatch ,front and turret rear hatch all open .I also made all the tool ,spare track mounts , tow cabele mounts all work although they dont have the correct butterfly nuts I reserched the Zimmerit styles to and have gone for the MAN style small squares with dashes in them. To do this I cut a strip of styrene to the width of the squares and used this to mark out the squares . I had to make several lengths of this for the various ares of the tank . I also cut the strips not perfectly streaight so it look in my eye better . I then added the dashes . For the zimmerit I used milliput. Im curently out of work after working all my life full time I think this has made me scratch build a little more . Ive also just about finished my late Stug III G build . I do have some Tamiyas but there curently on hold.
