Let me introduce you to a recent project that we build for a customer...
It is going to be a Tiger 1 early with battle of Kursk markings and turret number S33.
The customer gave as some pictures of the model he likes us to replicate in 1/4 scale
The pictures below show a r/c model in 1/24 I think from Tokyo Marui. He wants this in 1/4 !
First we have to do some research on this model, get plans and measurements.
In a short discussion with David Byrden we agree that the Tiger shown is not historically accurate for either S33 Tigers. Nevertheless, the features of this tank might be accurate for a different turret number at a different battlefield. Since we build to customers specifications, this is what we have to go for !
So the first steps are to get the measuremtns into a CAD program to later create masters for casting or to use CAM to create the parts directly.
First 3 D designs.
Then the first master.
Then the cast part.
This is the principle for many parts of this Tiger 1 radio controlled tank in 1/4 scale !
