Armortek

FANTASTIC build, some really great details added. I do have one question about the side fender at the rear - How far down should it be. This is what I did on mine. https://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/kapernakis/sidefender5.jpg https://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/kapernakis/34rear-1.jpg And t...

Looks good Vince, I have added the rain cover tubes and I used .125" brass tube.

Vince there should be no gap between the turret and mantlet, if you go to my Tiger thread on page 3 you will see I had the same gap. I had to do a lot of filing/sanding to eliminate the gap.

Looking very good so far.Your welds have come out fantastic and I like that you have corrected the front mudguard attachments, very few have done this. Only thing I can see that needs to be modified is the drivers armored visor.
Looking forward to more updates.

Why not make the mudguards out of brass. Check out how I made them for my mid Tiger. My post is on page 11.
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1219 It looks like my pictures (photobucket) can be seen.
The Armortek ones did not come forward enough.

Have you got anything on the shurzen yet.
PM me your email and I can send you something that will definitely help.

Hate to bring this up now but I just noticed it, on the outer wheels the hub should be recessed. Here is what I did on mine. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/kapernakis/Wheel1.jpg Here it is completed and after running the tank for a while, compare this with the pics above of Tiger 131. http:/...

That is some outstanding work, very realistic.

Looks like your build is coming along nicely. Its good to see someone else making the correct hinges for the front mudguards. What material are you using to make them?

Phil I think the editing you did is great, I like the results. Your humble opinion - I really appreciate your opinion as the pictures you post of your work is excellent(very well staged and thought out) and it can only help me to take better pictures. The shade of yellow I used is Tamiya XF-60 dark ...

Thanks Simon.
Phil I like your edit, and yes please give the "for and against" for the second picture, I know the first has alot wrong with it.
What does "bomb up" mean?

These were taken a long time ago, tank was not completed at the time. First one not so good but I liked the second one.
Have at them.

If you want to see what I did on my mid production Tiger for that part go to page 9 and look at my build. It is on the first page. The one Vince made is not correct.

Looking good Ken. I have also used Mike's tools and brackets and have never had a problem with them coming loose. There is a picture on page 25 in the Modeler's Guide to the Tiger Tank that shows the tube. Since you have done all those excellent mods here is one that you may want to do. (Scroll to m...
