Tiger 1 range target refurbish ......again.

[Ian Carr]

..don't throw any of the parts away Phil
Seeing as mine is missing lots .. I can give them a much healthier life in mine
Maybe you could use CGI instead .. less damaging to Armortek tiger-1 reserves
Keep safe.. Ian

[Phil Woollard]

Parts, I'm looking for..... the swing arm/torsion bar pieces for the first issue of tigers, even one or two would help 4 or 5mm (See photo)
A list of other parts that I require, all Tiger 1.
Mantlet and the mantlet counterweight hinge piece, plus the pivot bolts.
Turret roof,
Idler axle assemblies
The early/mid wheels, any amount,
Rear deck frame,
A pair of main drive motors, can even be KT but any will fit.
Rear deck louver vents complete, and any other fittings that you guys might have gathering dust.

[Phil Woollard]

Some of the bigger parts neatly set out ready to start the bergetiger build.
The sprockets shown need machining for the taper locks, Armortek are not able to machine them for me and I don't have a lathe big enough so would any of you guys be able to take on the job please?

[Phil Woollard]

Tiger 331 (the range target) long range hits, with the internal ammunition stowage cook off in real time.

[Simon Peck]

Hi Phil, what exactly are you shooting at 331? Do you have a picture of the ordnance? Cheers.

[Phil Woollard]

I'm sworn to secrecy Simon!

[John Clarke]

Something with low velocity and plenty of ummphhf nodoubt.

Is that your 25P John?
Stalins organs single shot.

[John Clarke]

No Phil, I wish!
That's a very fine super detailed Marcus Kwa's 25 pounder.

This is the one in my bedroom with a little extra in the breach.

Moving on with the old hard target build.

[Adrian Harris]

Don't forget to take the third step off the drive housings, or it'll make a mess of your sprockets.

[Phil Woollard]

Good point I've already done it! I'm putting this together without the build manual too.

[Phil Woollard]

This ol girl is a piece of Armortek history. I'd forgotten just how robust it all was , that belly plate is sooo heavy and those suspension blocks are solid brass, thanks Adrian.

[Adrian Harris]

When I was doing my axles I decided they needed to lose some weight, a bit like their new owner

I was please how they cleaned up though.

Adrian.
