  1. I did some more work on the track guards. Cleaning them up attaching the speaker and cover and glueing the handles to the storage boxs and the boxes to the guardsspeaker shot of the back with the break lights attached was tricky painting them green with the red. gluing handles to storage boxes also removed some detail from the alternative tank
  2. Drilled the holes in the track guard and dry fitted it to the tank along with a couple other pices now to glue all the handles on
  3. Glued the last of the little bits on. And glued the top to the bottom and added the back pannel
  4. Painted a couple bits and has a play around with the gun. The mantlet is blue tacked together and to the tank
  5. Well things just went wrong. Was painting the two track sections for the front of the tank and I have a lamp with a magnefying glass and it gets hot. I went to get a drink and it moved and the heat melted the parts. Going to try and get some replacement parts from TAKOM.
  6. Just finished 3 or so hours. Just touching up scratched paint and installing the bow gun Front Before: Front After: Rear before: Rear After: I will add some more weathering after or close to when the tank is done
  7. Yeah was talking with my college friends and I just felt like doing it again. Hopefully get it done this time
  8. done the back access hatches tow mount it something and towing eye. As well as a small cover thing. There should be a tiny little round thing but I can't find it.
  9. right i am back almost a year since i touched this wow. doing the periscopes and front hatches driver and bow gunner i belive I believe the instructions intend for the hatches to be glues down but I have left them free. The pices are too small for me to make a hinge so I'll just leave them loos for now. I propped them open with some tooth picks I'll add pictures soon
  10. So just put together a gun and mantlet that I don't intend to use. And fitted it to the turret with some blue tack to see what it looks like. There should be a muzzle brake on the barrel but there is only one in the set and I intend to use it on the gun I actually want to fit to the tank.
  11. Left side tracks in place. Just a comparison between two of the track links. And how they differ slightly
  12. So been painting and gluing some of the ideler wheels together. My mum has been helping. And we have started to get the tracks and everything together
  13. Hears a small update. I have sprayed the small wheels that the tracks rest on brown. May try splatter them with some weathering. Also painted the exhaust boxes as well as a couple other parts that are to do with the exhaust. And also sprayed the muzzle brake with the same colour as I mixed it myself. And it looked like a burned colour and it looks good
  14. Thanks. It should look great when I have finished it. 2nd tank that I have put weathering on so should be quite the challenge too.
  15. Not sure. If the tracks were link and pin I would prefer it. Rubber tracks that are one piece that fits around the wheels and then links back up. They are fine but often pull on the wheels and pull the in and off from my experience. My first time using this type of track so I will let you know. If I remember.
  16. So I have painted thoes parts. Proofed fitted the loos parts of the tank together not bad. I will be touching up the missed and bad spots on the vents and grills on the back Sounds in background are TV in kitchen. VID_20190113_191946.mp4
  17. Ok so I'm back working on the tank now. Most of the tracks are painted and have some weathering. And painting some of the main hull and track guard components. That is when the AirBrush decides it wants to work properly.
  18. Yeah it's quite the tank. There is currently no thurther progress with house work taking priority but I hope to do some more work on the tracks soon.
  19. I have. Painted the track parts and also checked the hull and turret to make sure they fit
  20. Update I have painted some parts touched up some parts and prepaid the track guard sides by removing bits left from casting. Also removed small marks from the edging of the drive wheel mounts

  22. hi very interesting build but what fought my attention most is that tiger. The lower hull you showed in that picture is very similar to a tiger 1i got from a charity shop. My intention was to repair the tank but I don't know we're to get parts or how to repair it as IV had no luck with getting any parts I do have to stick back on. There is loos parts in afew places damage to the insides around the engine. I believe it's missing 2 ambition storage racks. Side parts that cover the tracks on the front and back. The gun is missing from the bow gunner spot. Steering wheel sheets turret components and much more. Any help or suggestions would be wonderful. Especially if there is a way to get spare or replacement parts.
