Tiger S33

[BREL]

Here are a few shots of the Tiger 1 tank that I bought from Glyn (percy1510). The work he has put into the tank is great, with very good attention to detail, the tank has plastic tracks and these will be replaced by the impact ones in due course when funds allow. I am not a big fan of plastic tracks, because the wear on them is not realistic enough for my liking.
The tank came complete with a spektrum DX5e TX and receiver plus two batteries powering the DMD and MF units separately to give a longer run time, it also came fully fitted with the IR battle system and is set as a heavy tank taking 9 shots to kill it (we had a small battle on the car park outside the flats where I live.)

to stop the hatch from opening too far and to hold the hatch open whilst moving
here is a link to a picture of the bovington tiger 1 with the hatch open and resting against the stop, it is latched open

Thanks Brel

I have bought a few metal Tiger 1 hatches and always wondered where does that bit of metal go!
