Hobbyboss 1/16 scale Tiger 1 "Updated with better pics"
Posted by panzer88 on Saturday, February 14, 2015 2:40 PM
Here's a little side project that I've been working on. I already know that it is not totally accurate but I did add a few bits here and there to correct or enhance the original kit. The turret and hull top are not attached to the hull bottom yet. Sorry about the quality of pics, I was using my Go-Pro originally, and they didn't turn out so hot. Hopefully these are a little better. Was hard getting shots because the tank is so big. The grey plastic are bits from the Tamiya kit, the zimm is from ATAK, and I sourced resin vision blocks for all the required spots. I was also able to find some corrected spare tracks for the turret, the kit ones were mounted wrong, I also added the small metal handles to the tops of the spare track holders. Other details were enhanced either with styrene (missing details, welds,..etc) or white metal replacements. Just waiting for it to warm up, so I can throw some primer on her.

I also cut out those nasty bulges on the lower front hull that were there for the gearing for the front drive sprocket. As most of you know this is based off an RC model. Blanked them off from behind and filled with putty and sanded flush. Not a bad kit for the money.
