Mud flaps have been cut out and groove cut on upper edge of side plates in the front. The groove was a hinge point for extra frontal armor on the initial Tigers that folded up onto the front glacis. They decided that they didn't need it later.

Today i added welds on hull. http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/6...0420111454.jpg They are for example on initial tiger from dragon and on some pictures: http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/4953/230420111456.jpg |

Hey it's looking good. I tried to answer your last PM, but it doesn't seem to go through so I will answer here. The hinges I bought here;
http://www.phoenixmodeldevelopments....nge_Range.html The long piano ones. I cut to length and filled in the holes on one side so I could redrill them to match the other side not to be offset as they came. As for the rear fenders I don't remember, but I can measure them when I pull it from storage. If there is any other questions feel free to ask here or PM, that is I can PM back if not I will answer here like I am doing now. Here is a link to my build at the DAK site. Plus my Panther we talked about and quite a few other great builds. So look around there you will get some great idea's from some talented guys. Tiger 1 142 build http://web.mac.com/ethandunsford/DAK...Tiger_142.html Panther A build (still in progress, but I am working on it) http://web.mac.com/ethandunsford/DAK...Panther_D.html And some video of them in action Tiger 1 and my King Tiger; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGjlh1SbxZM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFLpBA-HLWc The King Tiger is getting fitted with new Mr-Desighn Gearboxes http://mrdesigngearboxes.webs.com/manualkingtiger.htm I will post when done and how they work out. I got tired of stripping out the gears in Impact ones. So we will see. This KT tips the scale at almost 17lbs. Keep up the good work. Richard |

RE: Tiger 1 Initial 111 s.Pz.Abt. 502
I added extra thickness to hull. Now lower and upper parts better fit together and all is more stiff. Upper part of hull also got this upgrade.
