I seem to have stumbled into an entire den of Tigers here.
Great work on all of them !!!
Hey shrimp, Welcome to the Forum.
Go to greatmodels.com and click on database. Do a search for Academy Tiger, click on the links for the tigers with the interiors (they are $40+). You will find a Review 1 link on the page. Click on that and it will take you to the missinglinks website and bring up the articles about accurizing the interiors for the Academy kits. (You could go directly to the missinglinks website and look for the articles, too.) There is a lot of info in the two articles about the interiors, especially for the mid/late versions. They deal mostly with modifying the kit parts, however, but there is some scratchbuilding in there, and it may give you a starting place.
Also, there used to be a fantastic site called tiger1e.com that had a massive amount of data and cg graphics about the tiger1. It isn’t there anymore. Does anyone know what happened to the site. Does it have a new name or it it gone for good?
One more also, shrimp. Go out to a search engine (I usually use google.com) and type in tiger tank. You will get hits for many sites. Weed through them and you will find lots of stuff for your Tiger.
Good luck, and happy modeling!
Bill
Shrimp;
Here’s something else I just remembered. AJ Press has a book (actually a series) on the Tiger. Part 3 is supposed to be mostly about the interior. I have part 2 and it does not touch the interior, but has masive amounts of data otherwise. They are a little spendy. Part 3 retails for $30, but greatmodels.com sells it for $24.30. However, it’s not in stock at the moment. But you can order if from them, if you’re willing to wait!
Have fun;
Bill
