    Thanks Stef, its coming together nicely Cheers Darryl, I hadn't planned on using as much as I have so far, but it does look nice. Thanks Paul, the drawings are great and really useful with chiseling off bits that aren't needed, Marcos bases are fantastic ive got a couple now and really impressed. The top deck isn't stuck down yet the rear deck is a tight fit so will need to clamp down once I glue the top down. Cheers Keith, its all coming together nicely, not to much etch left to stick on. Cheers Stix, I haven't glued my fingers together to many times. Cheers Mick Thanks Simon, I always feel slightly bad for painting over all the etch detail, one day I may keep one unpainted. Ive got the side skirts on, I used making tape as a guide foe the level then cut the lugs off with a sharp scalpel. and I'm happy with the way its all turned out.

    this week I’ve been mainly doing etch, there are a fair few differences from the initial to the early in some tool positions and tow rope clamps. luckly one of my references books has line drawing that as if by magic are drawn in 1:35. The side skirt mountings will need to be scraped off as the etch requires them in slightly different places. I’ve also treated myself to a metal barrel.

    Great start and funny video, I had a quick took on scalemates and the cammo guide is on the bottom of the there instructions.

    Tanks Keith, maybe i've made to many Tigers? this one has gone together with minimal effort and very similar to previous builds with regards to construction. the Diorama base is great, I'm thinking more of a summer feel as I've got lots of winter Dioramas. so maybe some sunflowers and summer uniformed Infantry. Cheers Bob, she's certainly started off well. just need to start drilling for location holes for the tools and tow ropes. Thanks Darryl, the Germanys, Tiger Tanks book has been a great help and thanks for your bits of information. my main concern was an additional fluid filler cap next to the snorkel port. but luckily It fits the period I'm after.

    thanks Stix, all good down there thanks, hope your all well. It’s nice to build a non complicated kit. looking through my reference books I’ve found a picture used for the resin base. I’ve been flicking through both books as the RFM kit is either initial or a very, very early Tiger. Trying to get to an early ish Tiger.

    Great choice, thanks for adding the colour schemes. I'm going to be using one of those schemes on my Tiger.

    thanks Keith, A few focused hours yesterday and it soon went together, the slowest bit will be adding the etch. no hanging around here Simon, bit of Easter egg and glue and I was away. cheers Darryl, I’ve not built an RFM kit to date, I’m really happy with the fit. There is just a bit of work to turn from a North African Tiger to one on the Eastern Front. So far so good Bob, it’s my first RFM kit and it’s going together really well. The base is very nice and is done off a picture with a tiger sat next to the building.

    Thanks Stef, it’s a busy time keeping up with everyone’s posts and building your own kit. really got stuck in yesterday and already starting to look like a Tiger.
  12. Ozzy
    Great start Stix, we can put our feet up on this one and enjoy the building.

    Great choice of GB @Marklo and @Stef N., @PlaStix and I hosted the first Tiger GB a few years ago now. Good luck and I hope it is as successful as ours. Here’s my entry, the RFM tiger 1 I picked the kit up second hand a while ago. Not going for a North African Tiger more an Eastern Front Tiger. I’ve got an Eduard brass set and some very depleted Bison decals. I’ve also got a metal barrel on order. I’ve also got a diorama base cast by Marco Doeser. quick proof of life pic, and into the build after a few hours today it’s starting to look like a Tiger. It’s gone together really well and who doesn’t like building a a Tiger Tank?

    great work on the Bomb bay detail, I'm going to build a Stirling later this year I was wondering how many bomb release clips are in the main bomb bay? as your picture is cut off. I'm planing SBC any help would be greatly appreciated.
  17. Ozzy

    thanks chaps, I’ve not had much time at the beach as it’s been a busy time in the shop, today I managed to get the tank on the transporter and all cabled up with a 3 to 1 pull. I’ll add the figures in the new year. I made it into the Gallery 🥳. happy new year to you all.
