Foreword:

Since I own my Tiger I, I did many modifications to this model. Why? Because there are so many failures comming with this model, that there is plenty to do to change it into a real good model.

I also figured out, that many people have the same problems with their Tigers without knowing the failures or even not knowing how to correct them.

One day, I made a deal with another german forum member. He sent me his Tiger, I corrected most of the failures and created a series of articles about each failure and how to remove it with simple work.

To find all the single articles, I created an index where I could list all the failures and link them with the single articles.

After discussing these possibilities in this forum, I decided to do the same for you guys.

This will be the mother of the articles, so please stick it somewhere.

To follow the articles, just push the links under the appropriate headline.

In the end, there will be a list of 32 steps to follow.

I cannot do all the article at once, so they will appear step by step.

Well, lets start.

What are we talking about?

We talk about an early HL-Tiger I as shown in the following pictures:

<span style="font-size: medium;">If you have a HL-Tiger 1 and did all the modifications, you will not have a scale model.

But after all this modifications, you have a model that really looks like a Tiger.

There are so many other technical things to do on the Tiger, even by adding accessories, it would be too much to show everything.

That&acute;s why I limited this one to the above points.
