Fantastic work on both tigers.. thanks for all the pictures,i picked out a few good things to do with mine.?and if can you tell,or show me how you made the hinges to open and close the engine grills then i would be able to finish mine.thank you chinito_03. good job on the tanks again.
thanks chief,

heres the step by step in how i made my engine hatch functional.

1. youll need 1 or 2 track links
2. cutter/hobby knife/scalpel 10 (i used scalpel 10)
3. few pieces of styrene sheet
4. glue
5. san paper.

now use the cutter or knife to separate the hatch from the hull.. follow the seam line it might take a while to cut it.. do it slowly because you might cut yourself or ruin the cut.
took m3 about 45 minutes.

once its separated use sand paper to clean the cut line and make a lil angle on the bottom part so that it wont touch or it will creat a few cm space from the hull once you put them together.

now get the track link (SEE PICTURE BELOW)

after putting it together i used a piece of styrene sheet to cover glued part...
