aurelien wolff Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 already did the idler wheel on the H2(wich is already done), now it"s academy tiger I, I'll try some drybrush on it. I've seen some late tiger I instruction and it doesn't seem that I've messed up the angle that badly so I'll keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurelien wolff Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Decided to add some tool using academy instruction, but I didn't have enough place for the hammer. I used some part from my tiger H2 box on the turret 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurelien wolff Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm building a what if F04 from the Kampfgruppe Schultze, the only difference being in the interior https://tiger1.info/EN/Hydraulic-grilles.html (I like doing what if). I've replaced the hatches using dragon one because I haven't putted the vision block at first and thanks for pointing me out about the cupola angle, not sure how I can fix it but I'll try (I think I'll do a mess). Also, I can't do mine with mudguard because I don't know why but some time ago I decided to cut them off and now I can't find them anymore. the second will be much better than this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DByrden Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The basic rule with the Tiger cupola is that one of the visor holes faces directly forwards. So, the hatch ended up 72 degrees from forward. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) As there is no detail under the engine deck vents I photoshopped the cooling fans and radiator. Suitably scaled and folded I aim to stick it in place on some card. The next trick will be to actually fit it as the hull top is fixed. I've researched L&L track fitting for the Revell Tiger 1 and it's looking a bit tricky. The wheels still need a lot of tidying paint-wise to sort out the mess I made painting the tyres but I thought I'd plan/dry-fit the tracks so I knew where I was going with them. I've drilled the holes in the wheels so that they slide on and off more easily. One suggestion I found was to put the roadwheels in place without cement, cement the requisite number of indy links to the sprocket and idler so they can rotate, allowing fitting of the lengths to join up at each end and then to cement the tracks round them. This enables further work on the running gear away from the hull as the hull/tracks gap is very limited above the tracks. The problem I foresee with this is that there is a row of wheels that are going to be tricky to put in place without cement. Another route was to fix the roadwheels but not the sprocket or idler. Next to cement the requisite number of indy links to the sprocket and idler so they can rotate, allowing fitting of the lengths top and bottom of the roadwheels to join up at each end. Has anyone experience of the 1/72 Revell Tiger 1 (03262-0379) track fitting? All suggestions welcome.

Dont let on but I've been getting £10-£15 a time for them on the usual on line auction site.... Pays for half the set of Fruils, or did.. funnily enough they are getting expensive now they've stopped supplying them to the model shops.
