I remember when these kits were released.  I'm just wondering whether the molds have been updated.

Hi!
 Nice to add something new to this old kitty.
 It should be finish long time ago, but.....
everyday i have sometning new.
 Two days ago i receive 3d printed late muzzle brake.

Check and it fit to metal barrel by Aber.
 Now with all my accessories (for example late commander cupola and steel road wheels) You can built mid,late or hybrid version of the tiger I.

As You can see, it`s not easy, and now conversion kit to sturmtiger appeared.

Hi again!
Long time I wait for accessories to this model,but now is really progress.
I add resin german base antenna kit (available in my shop)
and connect with 2m metal antenna from Aber. It fits very good together.

Another rarity I've been waiting long time. Complete aluminum barrel to tiger I, together with PE brass rings and muzzle brake.

How do You find new accessories? I`m very happy.

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

Hi !

 I know it`s very long relation , but some news about new accessories added to my tiger.

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 .

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 !

Excellent work Piotr. Is the top removable..?

 

Looks to desparately need a wash to deepen those recesses.

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?
