Hi everyone,

Am the proud new owner of this superbly detailed Tiger #312 built approximately 2010 as a display model but had motion added at a later date. here's a couple of taster pics, more to follow showing the amount of extra parts that have been added: Am currently looking at the rear and front lights to connect them up and get them operational. The front is a bosch headlight which i think runs from 12v although grateful if someone could confirm?

Not so sure about the rear so have attached a pic in the hope that someone might recognise it and be able to advise its operating voltage. Clearly, its not an LED: Many thanks in advance

Suspect those are Steve Winston light fixtures. I could see other parts made by Steve. If that is the case then both use 12V filament bulbs. I connected mine in series to the tank's 24V supply so that both come on together.

That's a fine looking model. Even the position of the tow rope is correct for a late Tiger 1. When you have time add the heater port on the backplate which only the late Tigers had.

Many thanks for that Vince, thought it was but always best to confirm.

So with the heater outlet, do you have any pics. It’s certainly something I’ll add although need to be careful of the existing paint job. That said, I’ll be changing the 4QDs and electrolise switches for a sabertooth or two

Something like this:

I am not sure if you can still find it as an aftermarket part. There was a source across the pond which had a white metal version with cone bolts but not sure if still available.

Many thanks again Vince. Unfortunately, can’t make this at the mo so will go and investigate what’s available. Many thanks for the pointer though

If eventually you don't find what you are looking for, talk to me again and I could suggest an alternative.

Nice find. I have tiger 312 also. Below is a link to mine.
