Forgot the plunger 🥴

The exhaust pipe's flappers in this kit are molded closed. During some research I found out they were locked open with a pin during normal operation. I performed surgery on the kit's. Next was the Feifel "V" shaped breather duct. On the tank #02 I'm doing the filters have been removed, based on...

It's gonna make a sneaky coin bank

It's gonna make a sneaky good coin bank.

I blacked out the inside of the hull and the grating from the underside with some Tamiya nato black before gluing on the top of the hull. It proved to be a struggle to get it on without gaps. Not surprising, though as it's a large piece of plastic. Had to use thinned down putty in a few areas...

Finally got the tracks built. Next step was to not follow the steps, per the instructions. Test fitting the parts that make up the hull I could see there would need to be some tweaking, so I wanted to get them together straight before adding all of the details as the instructions show to do...

Excellent!👌👌👌

Very cool Ian 🫡👍👌Thanks so much for taking the time to put this info together!

I have tracks for one side made and my fingertips are sore. Theres over 300 individual parts for the set, but I new what I was getting into when I bought the ticket.

Thanks Saul! I can see which mantlet and it's the one I was going to go with. Alma & Ursula must have been some biggin fun time girls.

I'll look for it 👌

Thanks Ian! I'll take anything ya got 👍 The two main things is which engine deck and mantlet.

I was happy to see the tensioners on the this kit are somewhat adjustable.

While bogged down building tracks ( I thought the P III's were bad) I'm looking for a Tiger to represent. Not giving up on one from the 502 heavy battalion I've come across this one numbered 02.

Looking good Paul.

Somebody mentioned nylon bushings on another site for the Andy's Tiger kit. That's a brilliant and simple solution.

May need more than one for that job!

Something that was bothering me with this kit is there's no way for the road wheels, idlers or the sprockets to stay on the hull without permanently attaching them. Now I understand why I would see some wip pics of the kit with all of that painted and on before anything else was built. I didn't...
