Hey Perry,

Thanks for the advise. You know that gun is giving me some worry, as it has the recoil in it. I got the entire turret from TANK ZONE in the UK.

Maybe it is supposed to be recoiled until I get it powered up. Still waiting the new reciever and Xmitter to come in.

Oh and I want to share what I neglected or flat out did not research far enough so that others can learn and do it right the first time.

I've found some other items I goofed. The shovel is pointed the wrong way.

But If I may brag a bit. Some of the details are dead on. I totally reworked the starter plate, and it is now exactly correct for the late Tiger. I added the sockets on the turret roof for the hoist. The hull extensions are notched (Boy was that a nightmare!)

The decals are set into the Zimmerit (That is a trick!) I added the barrel drain holes. So for a first tank I am rather pleased, but next time...... Unknown to the wife there will be another TIGER soon..hehehe
