Well I had to check it was the right one and that it all worked,   I got this little beauty from TankZone, it is a late production Tiger 1 and it comes already painted & weathered and with the following mods

- Metal Heavy Duty 3:1 Reduced Ratio Gearboxes
- Proportional Smoke Unit
- Metal Sprockets with Late Caps
- Metal Idlers
- Metal Roadwheels
- High Grade Closed Pin Metal Tracks Late with Ice Cleats
- Metal Suspension Arms
- Metal Reinforcing Bar (inside chassis) for Suspension
- Metal Tow Shackles
- Opening Front Metal Hatches
- Metal Spare Tracks & Holders installed on Turret
- Metal Late Cupola with opening Hatch installed on Turret
- Metal Late Vent, Periscope and Close Defence Weapon installed on Turret Roof
- Photo-Etched Engine Grill installed on Engine Deck
- Working Metal Hull Machinegun with LED
- Metal Working Single Late Front Headlight
- Corrected Mantlet

This deal also came with a high capacity ni-mh battery, but because I already have enough batteries I contacted TankZone and asked for something other than the battery, They replied straight away and said I could have £20 of accessories instead, so I added a gun barrel extender a set of metal mudflaps and a loaders hatch hand wheel. When I received the tank to my surprise they had also included a set of metal smoke launchers and a bottle of 2000 BB’s, so I would just like to thank Kin and everybody at TankZone for a great deal and great service.

nice! - I have a matorro Tiger enroute to convert into a late model, I hope I can make it turn out as good as this one!

Well at least you will have all the fun converting it, i did alot of work on my last 2 tanks so this time i opted for the almost finished tank now i have just got to move the antenna, fit the gun extender, fit the mudflaps, paint some numbers on etc etc etc

There's nothing fun about applying zimerritt - my wrist is already in pretty bad shape from 10 years of working a mouse for 40+ hours per week as a designer, making endless marks in miliput with a screwdriver is absolute agony for me after about 10 mins...
Oh how we suffer for our art!!!

I'm now going to have to study these pics closely to see what I need to finish the job... 

HA HA I know that feeling, but the amount of effort i put into getting this one out of the box was huge, and it took 2 whole minutes

Those metal upgraded tigers do get really heavy, lol!

nice one,
regards,ICE
