Time to blow away dust !
I waited long time for this kit.PE grilles for Tiger motivate me to finnish my model.
Fited on without glue look like.

By the way it proves that grilles fit on to 1-24 RC Tiger I from Marui. :slight_smile:

To see You soon !

What is that turret number?

393 or 323 ?

Hello!

This tiger came from Muenchenberg Div. Berlin 1945

The number is 323 and based on original pics and colour schemes.

Now I`m ready to continue.

Test kit is on my table.

Aber , really thank You !

Today to put some current pics from interior.

26

I hope you did not get a cold from the dust that settled on this relationship.

I decided to see how to fit new tracks Panzer Hobby Art to Tamiya model.

I started wrapping track through the idler to road wheel .

Here everything fits like a glove.

The problem started with the drive sprocket.

First Tamiya did a bad number of teeth, and that’s the beginning of the problems.

Therefore tamiya`s tracks are wrong too.

By the way, it turned out that over the production years of this model were released 2 different drive sprocket, what`s a pity, it was never correct.

When Michael drew a toothed ring , me at this time by Dremel grinder removed this nasty, defective toothed ring (is it correct english name?).

The first fitting the caterpillar to the rim.

Oryginal drive sprocket was to wide,.

I have had to reduce the distance between the rims

I glue front toothed ring and test with a track.

Next, rear rim glued and next test.

First test on the model.

Now, time to cast drive sprocket by resin. Since now, I can recommend tracks with the drive sprocket from Panzer Hobby Art to Tamiya model .

Hi!
Nice to add something new to this old kitty.
It should be finish long time ago, but…
everyday i have sometning new.
Two days ago i receive 3d printed late muzzle brake.

Check and it fit to metal barrel by Aber.
Now with all my accessories (for example late commander cupola and steel road wheels) You can built mid,late or hybrid version of the tiger I.

As You can see, it`s not easy, and now conversion kit to sturmtiger appeared.
