Hello again T'n'Teers!
Its time for another update on this build.
Now that the suspension was done I started with the rear plate. I set it in place and using the plastic rod + cement method added weld lines to the joints of the plates.
Here are the weld lines
Then using a triangular file I simulated the rough cut metal that is typical of these large and late vehicles.
Here is the comparison of the details.
I then finished added the rear plate details.
Using a 0.5 mm plastic rod I added the bracket that held the Jack in place.
Here is a view of the back.
The Tiger so far with the suspension in place.
Now is time to continue with the superstructure. Until next time, thanks for following the build.

Gary, thanks for pointing that out I was about to overlook it. I used some Mr. Surfacer to create the detail of the armored covers.
Now I started to get the tools ready, I didn't really like the holder for the cleaning rods that the model comes with so I decided to build my own. I started with cutting round grooves on a plastic block and getting them into place. I used the plastic rod for lining them up.
Then I added weld lines with the usual rod + cement method.
Next the cleaning rods went on.
The closing bracket went on next.
A bolt and a plastic wing nut from Bronce topped it all off.
The back deck was finished without much trouble.
Next up were the periscopes. I gave them a coat of Tamiya Clear Green, and got them into place after masking the lenses.
Finally the front plate was glued in place.
That’s about it for this update. Next up is getting the tracks ready to roll. Thanks for visiting.
Until next time

Hello once again,
It's been quite a long time since I've roam around these parts. I have been working on the tedious task of getting the tracks together for the Tiger. As you guys can see, every other link consists of four separate pieces.
But now that we have those out of the way we are back on track!
Until next time.

Dang Dave, got to hand it to you for staying with those tracks. I'd be ready for the rubber padded room.
