Hi,
2007 is when it all happened at the Armortek factory a giant leap forward in the way tigers were manufactured, new tracks, new turret wrap new suspension, three piece sprockets with steel rings the list goes on.
This particular model had been sitting in a shed for I would say most of its life, used in the mud then left wet, not ideal!
It was a real work up to get it back to a standard I was happy with the hull fit kept me busy for a while.

Re: Late tiger refurbish
And some more in no particular order - lowered rear deck and deck supports in place also exhaust studs - hoping to receive Steve Winstone Tiger bumpstops and headlight soon

Remarkable transformation. You're getting quite good at these salvage projects. I need to lower my rear plate height as well - but the hull is assembled.
Perhaps light cuts with a router will do it. I've seen others cut it down that way. Looking great!
Love to see them resurrected.

Re: Late tiger refurbish
Thanks Bob
I would clamp a steel strip on each side of the rear plate and use edge as a cutting line for a dremel disk or small angle grinder, allow for some adjustments with a file.

Re: Late tiger refurbish
Thanks David,
I'm afraid my Dremel is old and way too wimpy for this task. I do have an angle grinder tho - that's another option. All the best - keep posting progress on Tiger and Jagdpanther - both are looking fantastic esp with Steves' bump stops.
Best,
Bob
