Hi Guys,
Though I am going to finish my Panzer III first I am doing a little bit of work on the Tiger so I can get a feeling for what one I might do and I can go away and do more research. The Armortek kit does give a lot of latitude on what period you want your Tiger to be. I'll probably do mine as one from May 1943 to December 1943, with October/November 1943 the most likely. I'll look for a Tiger in that period that has a nice paint job and maybe a bit of history around it.
As my Panzer III is taking up all the space in my workshop, and I have the house to myself for a couple of days, I've built up the hull inside. As you can see below I had a little help building it.
I still can't get over the size difference between the Panzer III and the Tiger parts, a couple of photo's below show this below.
I've got a few little modifications in mind, but these depend a lot on exactly what period the Tiger is. But then again there is so much scope as some parts might be replaced with newer parts, or even old parts scavenged from unserviceable tanks.
Anyway, now I have to go and take it pieces and hide the evidence
Regards,
Sarah
