Hi John, Nice looking Tiger, which set of road wheels are you running? Are these perhaps the new rubber lined early wheels? Your detailing is very good, Saxondog

[Johnf]

Hi Saxondog, The wheels are Asiatam early wheels with bearings and rubber tyres. I have added some pictures of wheels fitted but unpainted in my other post. Still have some mode detailing to do. I'm happy with the paintwork. Firt time to use an airbrush. Did not want to weather too much.

[Saxondog]

You have done a fine job John, the Tiger was my first tank and my first airbrush attempt as well. I really like the early model Tigers,they just seem to have more details and the road wheels look really solid. cheers Blake

Thanks Blake. Electronics new to me also. Some real headaches with the radio/receiver then it just worked and I have no idea what i did. Do you know anything about recoil systems. Mine is intermittent. If you give the gun a tug it seems to work then after a few shots it stops again. Dos'nt seem to cycle properly. Most other things seem fine.

Hi First class job it looks spot on,if this is your first time with an airbrush all the more credit to you.
If you have the asiatam recoil unit fitted,I have two of these and have given up with them there so temperemental just like yours give the barrel a pull and it will work (with luck)somtimes it goes off then keeps going (have changed the microswitches but still have problems),to tell you the truth as soon as the money and time is spare there coming out and going in the bin.
