hi guys,
            i thought i would show you all a HL Tiger 1, i am giving to my niece kristen for x-mas, origanally i made it for a friend, but i got it back off him, i painted it to look like "131" as thats what my friend wanted at the time, the tiger started as a non S&S, i swapped in the S&S electronics, and added the suspension strenghening plates while i was inside, other than that she is standard, except for the paint scheme and battle damage, i tried to copy "131's" camo scheme, as best as i could, and the damage she has, i did weather it a bit aswell, the only other thing i done, was to modify the mantlet where the gun sights are, i removed the lump across the gun sights, as "131" is a very early model without that lump.
you may ask why am i giving it to my niece?, well, i took her and katie my daughter to a mark one open day, and they loved it, katie of course has tanks, but kristen hasnt(yet) she has been on to her mum, "i want one", its doing my sisters head in,  . i hope you all like it, as much as kristen will

tiger205 im sure that she will love it,its a great model of131 even down to the damage under the barrel, nice job
regards,ice

Nice looking tank. I like the attention to detail. By any remote chance she doesn't like it. I will gladly take it

thanks guys for the comments, this tank was built on a budget(no money)so there isnt the detail i would have liked to put into her, as for kristen liking it, i'm sure she will, at the moment, all she wants is a tank, catching the bug(like us)will come in time, sorry Tailend charlie
