Another Tiger 131...

Post by Christoffer Ahlfors »

Things are a bit quiet here. Perhaps you are all diligently adding details to your tigers?

I took my tiger (Kurt Knispel's #131/sPzAbt103, believably) out in the beautiful weather today - couldn't resist.

Here are some vids:

Going up the steps to the wood decking. The steps are quite sturdy, indeed - I built them myself... :wink: But if you listen carefully, you can hear them squeak under the load:

Going down again, it becomes quite obvious how heavy this beast is. Stay clear!

Certainly is quiet on the Tiger front. I have been sking on the best snow I have seen in years for the last month. Back home next week and will get back to work on the Tiger. Nice to see your Tiger enjoying the snow also.

Do you intend to paint it. If not I would be worried about corrosion. She drives really well. Thanks for the videos.

It is clear coated for protection, but I do intend to leave it this way. Possibly with the addition of markings. My reason for this is that I find the metal cool per se. In fact, it is what caught my eye the first time I saw one and got me hooked.

It looks great. I was going to suggest some clear coat.
