Hi Chaps, This is a Taigen metal upgrade as the basic model. I have given it a paint job, and decals from Peddinghaus. Lots of little bits of work done including, notched the hull extensions at the front, small hinge loaders hatch, monocular gun sight, roughed up the side fenders a bit, new muzzle break, and a few other bits and bobs. This is running an IBU2 control board via my new Turnigy 9XR from RCTA. this Tiger is Tamiya IR battle ready. |

Here are a few pics which show some of the work I have done which can't be seen in the previous photos. This is the short hinge loaders hatch as I have done it. I think there might be more than one variant though. outside Inside, with closure rope and handle Alterations I have made to the rear of the engine deck. overview of Turret top and rear deck |

Thanks Gra, I thought that would be a little detail not often seen. Ok now has the Voyager pe tool clasps fitted. Not great pics, but enough to give an idea of how these look. |

Hi Gra, Which make of clamps did you use? These are the voyager Late set which are very good and not too bad to put together. I have also done a set of the voyager early clamps which I think are even better than these. I would definitely recommend these, and on the strength of these being so good I have just ordered the Voyager mid Tiger PE detail set  I have heard the ABER clamp sets are a real pig to put together, and a lot more fiddly

My Voyager Tiger I mid upper deck PE set arrived this week so a few more details added. I think I will be getting another set of these to add detailing to my early Tiger I too. Lots of useful stuff in this set, so working out what else I might add to this one now. Stowage bin clasps Jack block handle and clasp |

Hi Gra Yeah, the padlock is part of the Voyager mid Tiger I upper deck PE set. If I remember correctly ther are parts for 8 of these padlocks in this set. Lots of great bits as part of this set, and not so expensive as the ABER sets.

A few pics of the latest tank crew figure I have built. The kit arrived in the post yesterday morning. This one is a Kirin resin kit of a loader for my Tiger Is. I decided to try the Italian Pattern camo for a bit of a change this time. Comments as always very welcome. |
