Heck make us a set too Dale my lathe drill press and shop are all in Houston, I do all my building and drilling with a dremel tool and cordless drill.

In bulding the Late tiger I am always saying if i had my lathe I could turn this or bore out that.

looks Great Dale but gee you have been working on it for over two years!

Hi Dale,

Nice ones mate!
I simply love your eyes for detailing.

Hi Alvin,

Yes, what would we do without our Dremel

Good thing here is that we who make the Late Tiger will not need those swivelling bolts for the MG gun mount as Late Tigers was without

and makes life a bit easier for us.

Cheers
Kent

Hello Alvin . Kent is right these where on the early tigers only !!. Yes two years of modelling time . Mainly because I work six Days a week . Then seven days a week over the summer holidays . Also I have to build up my brownie points with my wife !! we all know how that works . At least I'm getting my moneys worth out of building it . I know when I get back to my Sherman it will be quicker . Dale

Dale,

Nice work on the wing nut details, I did this on my Tiger as they are noticeable. Have you thought about doing the same sort of thing as Kent did to reshape the MG aperture. I really liked the end result with Kent's Panther, it was superb. I say this because I wish I'd done it on my Tiger as there is an obvious difference with the ful size Tiger. I turned the outside like you have done but didn't narrow and deepen the Aperture.
