Other than trying to id bolts on the Tiger back decks, I did not get much done on my #131. I did get some work done on redoing my mid production Tiger. Took the sticking out of place, bronze bearings out. Still cleaning.
So, for today's post I give you two very good books on finishing and super detailing your Tiger Tanks. May I come close to finishing and detailing my Tiger as well as some of those in the RFM book. OMG!

Enjoy your Build.

Well, it's been several days since I have done much with my Tigers themselves. Several reasons, while getting lumber of improving my attic storage space I saw a Husky 9 drawer tool chest with a 24" x 46" top. Took the wood home reviewed size and price. when back the following day and bought it for my Mid Production Tiger to sit on. A little on the high side, 37 1/2 inches. Yes, going to need to make or buy some ramps to get it down if needed. As it's on good 5" rollers I might think about rolling it to the back of my pickup truck and they will be about at the same height. But still going to need ramps someday. I had to decide between a lift without locking storage and the 9 huge drawers, both at about the same price.
Link to a pic of what I bought. I'll take and post a few pics of the setup after I get everything back in place.

As far as my #131 Tiger buid that's about all I have for now. Finish cleaning and then back to build the #131.
Enjoy the build.

While moving in the Tool Chest I got this down and took a couple of pics of it.
I'm going to get them framed this month.
Hope you enjoy them.

Been doing too much studying rather than building. Also redoing my "work" areas. Putting a lot of stuff on wheels.
But here is a great link for those working on Tiger 131 builds.
"Tiger ausf. E : Changes to Tiger 131 in the museum"

Many Thanks to Vince Cutajar for providing the link that I found in another build thread.
Enjoy the build and the learning that happens on the way.
