FrancisGL Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Hi Pals,I started assembling this model, Sturmtiger, the brand Italeri 1/35 (ref. 299). This is another oldie, because I know has at least 13 years (which I had kept in a closet ... lol), hence backwards in time.Anyway, look good enough to get a good model.We see that this is difficult to assemble.A greeting and thanks for your interest and comments Here is the link to ready for inspection/model finished http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234996856-juggernaut-has-come/ Cheers...

FrancisGL Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi Pals, some progress in my Little beast. I mounted sides with zimmerit and the superstructure of combat, and I brought him to see how it is becoming. Time now for the more difficult part so far, i think, the tracks, that will a headache, because the system used not just very good in my humble opinión. I will start to prepare....

FrancisGL Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi Pals, Here are some pictures with montaje.Incluye progress details of the proposed system to complete the tracks, you can observe that besides being an "improved" system, the core set includes some small links (marked in red), which are so small like the tip of a pencil or so ... Although he says he is 12 links in each set and not just fit ok, any fault or any spare ....after suffering in hell , it occurred to me, I had the same parts of another Tiger, I'm not finished (by this same ...), and I decided to take advantage, that is, the segments and no loose links would serve me for almost everything, by applying some heat, and molding them gradually.In the end I think they've been pretty good IMHO. Also joining the two parts of the hull and added a few more pieces to the set Waiting to join well, Greetings 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix thank you very much for your kind comments, and for being so "generous" with "likes" (not easy to get ... lol ). I also look forward to seeing how it will be this drawer with chains. a greeting mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
