Hi Paul
I know you have said before that the King Tiger is your favourite
Tank to build,now I know why,its a lovely engineered Kit and goes
together real nice.
Loads of heavy chunky bits.
The plan is nice to try and finish the lower Hull filling and the bulk of the
painting,so I can get a lift from my Son onto my Hydraulic Table for Christmas,
for the rest of the build in the Lounge,in the warm
Some Snow this winter I think.
That will leave my little Log Cabin for the Turret and the Garage for painting.
Cheers
Phil

Hello Phil

I'am follow your awesome work, and I, are building the hull right now. But I can't find suspension bush (CK0128), can you tell me, there I can find them. ?
I did now they're in a box - not in a bag. Can you help me here. ?

kind regards
Allan from Denmark

Hi Allen
I cant find my packing lists at the moment,refer to the packing lists in the big
box's.
They were in a plastic bag but may have been inside the pack 3 suspension box with the
other parts for the suspension.
if they are not in the long box with the long hull parts they will be in one of the other smaller box with the rest of the hull and drive gear parts,the 3rd box is the
turret parts.
the clue will be in the packing list in each big box,hope that helps but please give
Gill a ring if you are still stuck.
Have fun with your Tiger build
Cheers
Phil

Hello Phil

Thanks for the mail, now I have some search options. I could not find the suspension Bush in Pack 1, as described in the manual and was a little nervous about it.

[Allan Carlsen]

Hello Phil

Just going through all bags and boxe, no luck.

From pack 1, all was empty on the floor. Also Box 2 with pack 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 - no luck.

Just write to Gill about new bag of suspension bush.

Thanks for you help

Hi Allan
Do you have all the other small parts for stage 1 that are shown in the manual on
page 6.
The 2 idler bearing parts and the HE mounts also the Hull plugs and brackets I think they
were in the same Box or bag?
Cheers Phil

[Allan Carlsen]

Hello Phil

Yes I don't missing another parts - from pack 1. Look at this picture, all is assembled.

[Paul Morris]

Hi there.

I might be going mad but I am pretty sure I can them in your picture?

Cheers Paul.

[phil fitzpatrick]

Not sure Paul,I think they might be chocolates,possibly
for bribery purposes,looking at the nice surface that the hull is resting on
Cheers
Phil

[Paul Morris]

Hi Phil.

Yes but look in the holes in the suspension bar! sixth hole in cant you see it protruding slightly? I did mention madness but I promise I have not had a drink yet maybe thats the problem.
Anyway sorry to interrupt your build its going well mate and I am quite jealous
Cheers Paul.
