Yeah, back the lamp head with foil that you bake with and the light will be much brighter. But, I don't use lights and wouldn't want the lamps to be much brighter (on a tank) in real life anyway. :D

I do like those Notek lamps ... now those would look cool illuminated.

Great build so far. I have always loved the Initial Tigers. Does the 502nd one you are doing have the front mud-guards? If so have you found a suitable material for them yet? i have a Tamiya Tiger I and would love to do a Pz.Abt501 Tunisia Initial but I cannot find any material that captures the look of the waffle style front flaps.

Looking forward to your next update!

Yes, my tank will have front mudgards. Check Aber site. They have "wafle style" material that i want use to build them. I am waiting for your DAK Tiger build thread.

It may be some time before I get the Tunisian Initial going because my King Tiger just seems to take longer and longer to finish! Thanks foir the Aber tip... that at least removes one piece to find.

Loving your proeject and making lots of notes on the mods I will need to make.

Thx Richard. It will be very long build due to lack of time ;)

I started with electoronic. Below remote start and shutdown. And inertia simulation test:

Fantastic attention to detail and work!

I did an Initial a while back, but nowhere near as extensive (and accurate) as yours.

Simply excellent.

Incredible amount of detail, outstanding work.
