[Martin Hofmann]

now it will be interesting. this lot of plastic should be a motor and 2 fans?

You certainly are adding as much detail as possible, one thing you should know the gun mantle on the mid production Tiger had binocular gun sights as in two holes only the later version of late model Tiger had monocular gunsight.
The Maybach engine is this the full sized engine or the half sized engine, could I also ask what the postage cost to Germany was not including Zoll.

[Martin Hofmann]

Hello Mark,
Thanks for the information about the binocular gun siehts but the tiger is ready now - the pictures are from the past!!
The Maybach is the full engine and the postage to germany costs about 85 Dollar and here in Germany the Zoll comes on top this was about 180 €.

[mark lawson]

Martin, thanks for the information about the postal cost and also the Zoll, in England the Zoll will be higher than Germany and not as fair as we get charged a handling fee this for a small package is 15£ or about 19€ larger will cost a lot more.

[Martin Hofmann]

now the motor starts slowly looking like a motor

[Martin Hofmann]

here some more photos of the motor.............

[Martin Hofmann]

thats the last photos of the maybach engine before installation.
thank you John Grima for such a beautiful model!!!!!!

[Martin Hofmann]

i have made 2 savety plates for the adjusting screw, because after mounting of the motor and the fans there is no possibility to reach the screws after they slip out of the guiding

also made some progress of the fans

[Martin Hofmann]

here are some photos of the inside of the engine room.
please be patient with me, i know that the room looks not exactly like this but i want to do something inside

[Martin Hofmann]

here some photos about the road wheels, new welds and some painting of the chain
