Hello Paul,
Thank you very much for the compliment.

Hallo Kent,
I thought that the inside of all covers had the colour "Elfenbein" ?

Hello Kent,
I am not able to heck anything here in this forum or anything else.
I am very happy to play and fight with my ipad.

Martin no the inside of the hatches was to be painted the same as the outside this is so when the hatches are open they don’t stand out from a distance with the potential of drawing fire.

Which abteilung will you assign your Tiger when completed.

[Martin Hofmann]

Hello Mark,

i don't know exactly which abteilung she goes.

but here comes some pictures again.
i start with the turret and the chain in front of.

Martin, I may be wrong, and will stand to be corrected, but I believe that the 'Filler Caps' on the rear deck ought not to have weld lines as they are designed to unscrew. If I am right now's the time to unweld them! Steve

[Paul Morris]

Hi fellas.
Weld lines round the fuel caps we have had this one before eh Kent only joking.
Martin ... leave the welds alone.
Cheers Paul.

[Martin Hofmann]

Hallo Steve,
Hello Paul,

I think the welds are ok because they don't weld the caps but the flange for the caps.

[mark lawson]

Of the 3 Tiger I and a Sturmtiger I have inspected there is a weld line around the fuel and water filler caps, the Late model Tiger will be leaving Munster this year if it has not already done so if you have chance take as many pictures as you can, the Sturmtiger at Munster is based on an early model chassis but still has most of its original features on the engine deck.
Martin will this be a early production or a mid-production Tiger.

[Martin Hofmann]

Hi Mark,

it is a mid production tiger.

here the next pictures............

[Martin Hofmann]

here are some more work on the bin with rivets ( the first are too big - so i drilled into the shaft of the rivets the new hole - 1,1 diameter ) so i think the diameter will be ok

[Martin Hofmann]

here are the next pictures about the mud guards and the feiffel filter

[Martin Hofmann]

here are some details on the turret front and the 20 ton jack
