Next step.

Adjusting the engine compartment. The rear must be shorted 2mm.

The front brace is next. Don´t glue it. It should be removable.

Antenna  base and the two front hatches are next.

First I wanted to use the HL track cable. But it broke multiple times during rip off.

Also the side fenders are missing. First I tried to rip off the hl ones. Didn´t work. So I had to construct new ones.

Let´s prepare the turret next.

In this case pictures should do enough. The center point is in the correct position.

The new swivel is not as high as the old one.

Here you can see the turret gap before and after.

Report will be continued

Next step.

Because of adjusting the turret center point, the gun has to be cut off as shown in the picture.

Now we assemble the turret base.

Here you can see the center cable management.

Next we do the roof wireing.

As you can see, the turret drive is mounted temporary. With the kit, there will be a box for mounting.

After finishing the electrical work, my prototype looks like this. There is much space left. The batteries, as long as they are racing packs, can be fitted as shown in the picture. If you use different ones which don´t fit there, you can cut off the brackets.

I mounted the main switch temporary with a piece of poly in a position underneath the drivers hatch.

At last a few pictures to show the new constructed track fenders, the transmission and different front brackets as 2mm patterns to create different versions. The fenders and the transmissions can be mounted with m1 screws. Drill holes are prepared from the inside of the hull. You just need to finish the holes.

Report will be continued.

Now the last update.

Well, it is done. Everything is mounted and tested. Everything works as expected.

That is the actual result.

What is next?

After correcting all construction mistakes and news, Christian has to work on it. He will produce one pre-production Tiger. That one I will assemble to check, if everything is perfect now. Simultaneously I will write the assembly instructions in german and, of course, english.

If everything is in expected shape, Christian will start production. I think, this kit should be available sometimes in March (2013).

After finishing the pre-production Tiger, I will show you the result.

Well, here does my report end. I hope, you enjoyed it. Please take my apology for my English,especially in form of special words. I tried my very best.

If you have any further questions or ideas, don´t hasitate to post them here. May be we can include one or more into this project.

There will be different types of suspension systems in the future, like the one the new metal chassis uses. So step by step, it will come, but I don´t know when, yet.

End of Report.

Greetings

Birger,

I am not sure B/Man will be able to make the right corrections or edits as he speaks Australian English? Ok, that was humor. Thanks for doing this B/Man!!!
