for anyones interest, who may "still" be building a tiger.

the tiger is virtually complete, minus the electrics. Just waiting for a tow-hitch modification. Also i have included a photo of the early tiger hull fillets, cut and reworked by steve winstone.

Hi Simon

Thanks for posting the nice pictures. Oh how I wish I could do welds as nice as yours.

Nice mod on the hull fillet piece. Super reference.

Best regards

Tim

Hi Simon

I am interested in making a tow hitch for my early Tiger that will work. Do you have any information or scale drawings drawings for the hitches?

Your Tiger is looking outstanding, everyone has set the bar high in there building, hope mine will be worthy whenever completed.

Keep those pictures coming.

Joe

I missed this thread.

I am still building my early tiger, this thread is really eye candy. Superb paint job and modelling skills.

May I ask what paints did you use?
