The wheels are on and what a sense of accomplishment!

Fortunately, Joe sent a helper with a wrench....

A much different suspension from the newer kits.....

I apologize for the bad pics, the lighting was bad.

Tomorrow the sprockets and the tracks go on....

Cheers

It's great oven roasted in foil 8) Not sure about a hound caught one though... :shock:

Looks like you've been making good progress with the Tiger.

Getting the tracks on is certainly one of the most satisfying milestones with these kits.

Looking good Rocky :D :D :D

Do my eyes deceive me or is that evidence of blood that front road wheel :?:

Having been mauled myself - which included losing a fingernail - I know from first hand experience that these things can bite back :shock: :shock:

Adrian,

Just a small scratch from a castle bolt :D

My back is a little worse than my fingers! I need to find one of those mini-lifts or motorcycle lifts that some of you use. I need some suggestions.

Hi Rocky, The set up I use with lifting table and scissor lift works really well. Do'nt know how you got so far without one. I use sealey lifts. Makes everything so much easier. Tiger looking great.

Very nice Rocky!

Careful. Don't get hurt yet. You have a line of tanks that need building. :)

Adrian, a lost fingernail?! Youch!

kind regards

Correct :twisted: I can't actually remember how I squashed it now but it was whilst I was dismantling the prototype Sherman.

I guess I should try and remember, if only to stop me doing it again :shock:

Rocky,
Harbor Freight have a good selection of lift tables for very good prices. Perhaps you have a store locally? You need a lift table to save your back from heavy lifting.
best regards, Bob

This is the one I use. It is quite wide so makes a stable platform under the Tiger. Handle for adjusting is short though but I just took the bar out and fitted some pipe to extend and refitted the lever.
