Re: John's Early Tiger 1
I have done some work on my turret mounted Smoke candle launchers and Hull mounted S-mine launchers.
Actually completely replaced with my own components. The parts I had were from the old tiger release. I don’t know what the latest release components are like but the old ones are not so good. The smoke launchers are not to scale and the S-mine launchers are just blobs.
I will have a video soon but here are some photos.

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
Some photos of recent progress on the early tiger. I have been busy making front mudguards which are connected to the hull in a more correct way. This has proved more difficult than just making something that fits the original Armortek fittings. I have also made some of the catches that hold the mudguards while driving. I would like to add a spring inside but couldn’t find one small enough.

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
I had posted a video before but sound was terrible so I re-edited and hopefully new video is better.

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
Latest progress. Added supports to underside of side skirts and fitted. This make them much more rigid and secure. Sorry I didn’t do this on my other tigers,

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
Trial fit of wheels and track. This was to make sure I have everything needed to fit wheels and track. I have wrong size grub screws for taper bores on sprockets so need these. Also m6 spring washers for road wheel spacers.

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
Impressive so far! And thanks for sharing!
It would be nice to see the correct holes in the teeth of the tracks on the front and the turret!![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
Good idea. Might have a look at that. Certainly my turret tracks would never be driven on but I might use some of the spares on the front hull if in need.

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
Thanks Brian, It's great to get wheels and tracks on the early Tiger. Clears a lot of storage space in the workshop. I had the two late tigers in the garden for a drive. It's a pity I can only fit one in the car. I want to take them to some parks for a proper drive. I will have videos up soon of the work on the Early Tiger and also some running videos.

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
Maybe you can put one on the roof?

Re: John's Early Tiger 1
The roof is for the sdkfz 222. Possibly a Bailey bridge.
