Here is the first of the completed parts from the new photo-etched parts I have received to date the rest of the new photo-etched batch will be with me before the weekend.
These parts are the Blowtorch Heater Trays for the Tiger 1, Tiger 2 and Panther. As most of you may know there is very little information about these trays available. I do not believe any of the real ones still exist, I have designed these on drawings of the trays for the Tiger 1 and 2, and the only picture I have found of the one for the Panther. Thanks to Kent Wiik and others for their help.
The trays are made of .020 brass and all require soldering, gluing will also work. Each tray has sleeves for the bolts so there is less tighten of the securing bolts, these are for sure on the Panther Tray as seen in picture I have, I have assumed they would also have been on the other two trays.
TT51-K Tiger 1-2 Blowtorch Heater Cover $25.00
TT52-K Tiger 1 Blowtorch Heater and Tray as a Kit $45.00
TT53-K Tiger 2 Blowtorch Heater and Tray as a Kit $45.00
Pan30-K Panther Blowtorch Heater and Tray as a Kit $45.00
The Panther Heater cover is part of set Pan27.
Gent040-K Blowtorch Heater as a Kit $33.00
For the blowtorch to sit correctly on the tray it is required to drill the heater hole in the rear hull plate at the correct angle as seen in the pictures.
The trays shown in the pictures are the first test assemblies. Before these kits are ready to ship, in a week or two, I have to write the assembly instructions.
