Hi Newbie here!

Did the Tiger get built, or is it an ongoing subject?

I wonder... and :welcome: to the forums. As it happens, I'm assembling the parts for a therapy build of a Tiger I using the Tamiya kit (35146) as the basis. I've got a turned barrel - the kit one is split down the middle, and we all know what that means :S I've also got some PE Zimm, which is a first for me, so I'll be distressing it a bit before application. Other than that, it'll be pretty much OOB. Hoping to start it soon once I crawl out from under the review pile :hmmm:

Just came across this a few days ago... not sure how current it is, but is a great link to Tiger I kits. It does include 1/48 and 1/72 scales.

Each kit is then linked to a list of alterations that would make "...more realistic, or assembled more easily, by attention to these points..."

regards,

Jack

Being a bit of a Tiger nut I know it is virtually impossible to build a 100% accurate Tiger based on dates due to all the silly little changes they made etc. I am currently getting all the goodies together to build an initial Tiger from 502 near lenningrad. I have the fruil tracks, I have the Dragon Kit, I have the metal gun barrel. I have the photos of the Tiger, number 111 with tools secured on the back of the hull (where the Exhausts are) and no stowage bin. then i have pics of the same tank 2 weeks later with a PZKPFW III stowage bin on the back of the turret. So the Tiger I build will only be accurate for a 2 week period!

Bizarre! But you have to be a bit :mental: in order to attempt an accurate Tiger! LOL.
