hi all, she arrived last week , great big box , weighs in at 74 kg

makes the tamiya tiger II seem tiny
started by cutting out all the turret and top hull hatches



did this with a jigsaw ,then finished it of with a file
next i started to clean up some of the resin parts and trial fitted the main gun assembly

spent last night removing the moulded bolt heads of the hull and replaced them with steel ones , used a pin vice to drill them out and cynoed them in

Hi You lucky guy ,looking good will follow the build ,just one question is Schurzen going on .



regards pete

Nice to see your making progress Cliff

to scurzen or not to scurzen , that is the question , at the moment i will say yes as it comes with nice photo etched brass sheets, but it does cover alot of the detail up
regards, cliff

she comes with all the bits to finish it to a museum quality tank, including motors , turret motor / loads of white metal castings and about eight sheets of photo etched brass, plus two 30 amp speed controllers, i will be adding a benedini sound card and smoker, recoil , elevation to main gun , muzzle flash , mg leds, the list goes on , so does the money , oh yes plus a 12volt 36 amp battery, heres a pic of one of the drive motors next to a motor for a tamiya 1/16 panther

OOOOO! very nice you have me drooling

got some build time in sunday , mainly adding detail, also fitted the motor in the turret and fitted the turret to the hull
