RE: Tamiya KT - A beginners build
Looking forward to your build!
Here is a list of the dealers I have bought from:

To your question of the modified axes - yes that is necessary - but if you do not get to much weight on your Tiger (mine has 5 kg) Axels solution is good enough - if you want to have near to 10 kg you should use the wecohe system - but it is to expensive for that what you get - and - not original like Axels (shumo) system.
