Ok, Here's my take on the Heng long Tiger 1. I decided to upgrade the paint scheme and add some details and address some incorrect issues with the stock model. I first : Moved the commanders hatch, repositioned the antenna, added the fire extinguisher and transmission sprocket re-enforcements, then added conduit wire to the headlights and the smoke launchers, added different Decals. I still have more details to add but it's an improvement over the first set of pictures I posted.

Thanks Ian. I even added the rear turret lift point. Now just waiting on the engine deck screens, extra track turret armor, bucket and chains.

One other thing to do. The lifting points on the side of the turret should have small discs on the end to stop lifting equipment coming off.

Yessss Sir Every Panzer needs a bucket. I have a stock of them.

Your Tiger is looking Good Chris. I do like the paint, finishing and colors you chose.

Keep it up.

I just did that. I used a wooden dowel and cut 2 slivers off and mounted them.

Thank you Chef. I just added the turret lift point detail, and painted the screens for the engine bays. Now, Where did you hang your bucket on your tiger?

[Chris curran]

Anyone have some Idea on installing Track armor to the Front Glacius of the Tiger 1?

A tow pintle mount which doesn't exist on a Heng Long or Taigen Tiger I is usually where they are hung from. I just snugged mine in there and useda drop of rubber cement.

No, not at all. I love seeing photos of real tanks, to guide my detailing.

I appreciate the compliment here, However, I've had help from Mr. Chef and Meter Rat. They've helped me get this Model to the next level. I have some metal tracks to mount to the turret. I'm torn on how to mount them. To drill, or not to drill.

Go ahead drill, it's liberating
