If the turret on the HL Tiger has to be shortened, where would the correct spot be? Have seen posts saying to cut 5mm out of the middle area, from what I can figure out, it needs to be shortened at the front at the gun trunnions. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

That's the thread I saw. After re-reading this, I dug out some scale drawings, did some measuring. Removing material from the middle is sort of correct . I will be doing this mod as well as cutting a correct size turret ring.

My aim is to put in a proper breech loading air gun and a new steering box. Oddly enough, an 88mm gun in 1/16th scale IS .22 caliber. I will eventually be posting pics, but not till it's done. Can't give away any secrets!


Thanks,

Don:

What caliber would be the right scale for a 1/8th tiger?

In 1/16th scale a milimeter is .0625mm. 88 X .0625=5.5mm or .22". In 1/8th scale it would be .44 caliber.

That would be so wild, a Tiger with a .44 Magnum!!!!!

Imagine the recoil! Go ahead, make my day!
