Tamiya 1-25 scale Tiger I with interior (built report)( updated 08.07.2021)
Posted by PITERPANZER on Sunday, July 17, 2005 6:55 AM

Hello!
I would like to introduce my next model under construction.It`s old edition of early version .I do full interior by paper used parts from Halinski publisher .Some parts I do from scratch, obligatory i do metal clamps.,grills,fenders.I take pattern on ABER PE parts.






I have 2 tamiya`s tiger more.First is with 2 engines and i plane to do RC standard,for second one i`ve no final idea.I thing about Sturmtiger or one of later version.Why not Wittman oo7!?

Thanks for Your answer.For people who make this scale is nothing new.On this Forum You could see some beautiful done tigers,for example by J-Hulk or by Crockett.

The most of all efforts need interior,because oryginal is very simplified Disapprove [V].Engine compartament is practice empty.Gear box and cluthes are also to exchange.Turret needs only some details more inside,but its shape is symetric and should be asymetricAngry [:(!].Exterior is in principle acceptaible.Smile [:)]

It`s slowly time to back to my relation.I `ve done some small steps,glued some 1-25 PE parts from Aber and paited first coats.i did some new figures too,when I enjoyed with resin.Today i paited again and another tiger (gray 113 from Marui) too.Pics showed conjuncture from yesterday.

and 1-25 scale figures with cat background

have a fun!

Yes, I have seen your Panther and I am most impressed by your work. Please let me know how you solved the ammo storage issue on the Tamiya Tiger, I just could not get those four rounds to fit abreast on that sponson. I modified the kit parts as you can see in my old thread.

 

regards,

Steve

Hi again and thanks for positive opinion.

The next small step is camo painting.I based on 2 oryginal pics and 3 colorful "ars poetica "schemes.Like You can see very difficult to find good colours interpretation  from black and white photo..

                                   

 

First time on my model i changed tracks paiting technique. Now it looks like below

and both tracks for comparision


I painted some parts inside too.


How do You find that?

Excellent work Piotr. Is the top removable..?

 

Looks to desparately need a wash to deepen those recesses.

Time to blow away dust !
I waited long time for this kit.PE grilles for Tiger motivate me to finnish my model.
Fited on without glue look like.


   
By the way  it  proves that grilles fit on to 1-24 RC Tiger I from Marui.   :-)

 

   
 
To see You soon !

I hope you did not get a cold from the dust that settled on this relationship.

 I decided to see how to fit new tracks Panzer Hobby Art to Tamiya model.

I started wrapping track through the idler to road wheel .

Here everything fits like a glove.

The problem started with the drive sprocket.

First Tamiya did a bad number of teeth, and that's the beginning of the problems.

Therefore tamiya`s tracks are wrong too.

By the way, it turned out that over the production years of this model were released 2 different drive sprocket, what`s a pity, it was never correct.

  

When Michael drew a toothed ring , me at this time by Dremel grinder removed this nasty, defective toothed ring (is it correct english name?).

The first fitting the caterpillar to the rim.

 

 

Oryginal drive sprocket was to wide,.

 I have had to reduce the distance between the rims

  

I glue front toothed ring and test with a track.

 

 

Next, rear rim glued and next test.

  

First test on the model.

 

Now, time to cast drive sprocket by resin. Since now, I can recommend tracks with the drive sprocket from Panzer Hobby Art to Tamiya model .

It is good that you were able to fix the incorrect Tiger I sprocket teeth. Surprise

I like the Bosch head lights and Tiger I treads. Big SmileYes
