Default Taigen Tiger 1 Side Skirts - Removal

Anyone ever remove the side skirts from a Taigen Tiger 1? can you share your method and possibly some pictures?

I need to de-skirt and de-fender my Sturmtiger for my build and I thought I would ask.

Thanks,

Springman,

hi Springman,

i did it on my Tiki project years ago. It was an HL one initially, i do not know if the taigen has the same structure

i cut the fenders with a saw, and them made the new fenders with iron sheet from an olive can

A thin razor saw and smooth with a file or sandpaper.
Jussek, the ones you made from a can are great!

I sort of wish IMEX offered all there tanks, especially the German ones, in kit form. I very much like their Tiger 1 kit, but its the early Tiger 1 and I would rather have a Late or a Mid kit offering - I got 3 Tamiya Tiger 1s - all Early - now......

Trust me, I do too. The problem is just the lack of kit demand these days. The vast majority of demand is for RTR and ARTR RC these days so our focus is on that. However with that being said I do think my constant nagging at bossman to do another might be working It takes me a lot of time to do it right, IMO instructions are absolutely the top thing I worry about. With the Tiger 1 we did I would consider that a success and would wish to do no less than that on the next one (the time needed for a good one is immense). The more requests we get sent to the Taigen site the more we can keep count. If you don't ask you may never receive!

I am happy to send an email request for more kits - consider it done!

THANKS Eirk!
