Thanks Brad sorry Steve and to Andy @Andy J for getting this rolling and putting the thread up. Looking forward to starting asap, must at least get the Panther finished and hopefully the M4 first though....

In the meantime must stock up on Tigers, I've two more coming 🤞 RFM early version hopefully next week and another Dragon one.

So glad I've a couple more coming....just a little annoyed I just found Dragon 6406 lurking at the back of the shelf, what's the Dragon Tiger I have coming.....

The Tamiya mid production one has the Atak zimm set with it and a set of etched fenders with it..

Decisions,  decisions....

If only the RFM tiger was an interior version:

As the majority of what I've got stashed is mid to late think I'll do an early one, Afrika Corp perhaps.

 

Lots more reference material coming soon I hope so might get a change of heart once I've dived into that lot....

 

Cheers fellas

Darryl 

just a few there Darryl.....

That's not a stash, that's a shop. 😀

 

Before I start any building I need some decent reference material as I have zero on the Tiger. Any recommendations preferably with loads of line drawings and colour profiles??

Hi Peeps. I've only got spacer.png for pics in last post. Is there something different I should be doing?

 

Welcome to the thread.....

 

If you're planning to build a Tiger I, then this is the place for you ;)

Post your build plans, kits, bits, reference material, as you see fit....

 

 

If you plan on making fun of Andy, then this is Also the place for you :D

What service are you using to upload too 

I wasn't trying to post, just looking at robw post that now has two pics in it where the spacer.png thingies sat before. Thanks for the invite to join but my skills and my 1/72 Revell Tiger 1 won't compare to what I anticipate will arrive here. I think I'll just watch and learn....................... for which I have abundant need.😀

I only have a part built 1/72 Revell Tiger 1 but my stash needs some serious attacking before I buy any more.

Can this count?
