HL Tiger 1, link and Barrel droop rebuild

Post by oldfeller »

Hi All

Don’t normally like starting on another project but got a bit bored waiting for my circuit board.

This tank as four faults that I know of: Stage 1 and 2

1 Damaged track link.
2 Barrel at an angle see photo photos.

Stage 3 and 4 next.

3 Muzzle broken see photos.
4 Damaged Hatch door.

1. Damaged track link: Thanks to Chris “ Chrisbids33 “ who sent me some links free, I was able to fix this easily. “ Cheers Mate “.

2. Barrel at an angle: To sort this problem I kept my strip down to a minimum by just taken the track off to get at the screws holding the two halves together , after separating, I’ve disconnected the antenna and turret motor wires, leaving all the other wires intact “ bag of nerves after the mess up I made with the circuit board :{ “ next took out the five screws holding the under side of the turret, found the problem, there are two lugs ether side of the gun mechanism that hold the barrel secure inside the turret, one of them had broken off “ by luck the broken off part was still there “ see photos “, glued it back on rebuilt the tank, give it a test it works.

Hi there,
Which hatch is broken. I have some tiger spares. If that gun mechanism breaks I have a bb mechanism that I tookout of a panzer 111. Do'nt use the bb shooters myself. Was having a major clearout at the weekend to make room for a new project.

Went through my bits box and found the comanders hatch. its the round one on top of turret. just the hatch and hinge fittings not the whole cupola. it has the handle. you can have it if its the part you need.

Hi Johnf
Sounds the one I need, its the round one, the hatch door hinge
is broken so the hatch door is not connected.
Please let me know what you want for it.
