Hello Everyone,
Happy New Year to all, I am working on my Tiger 1 late, I have all the mud guards to put on, tracks and drive sprocket, But I nothce that the Hull Fillets is not on.Those are the part in the front, cover the inside of the casting Armor.This part has 5 holes in it.Only one hole lines up. I have it now with top holes.
How do I fix this problem ?
see photos.
Thanks
greetings from
Dan

Hi Dan
If you have a look at some of my Hull build pictures on page 4 of
my postings,you can see how much I got mine to close up on the gaps for
a snugger fit.
I remember a bit of work with the file and then the screws lined up,I
cant remember having to open up any of the holes a bit,but that is another
option.
Hope that helps a bit.
Cheers
Phil

Hi Simon
Had me worried for a bit then cos mine are the same way up :lol:
No the longer leg is at the bottom with 3 holes at the bottom and 2 at
the top.
There is a picture on page 43 of the manual.
I dont think my holes were far out after a little bit of file work which
closed the gaps a bit aswell.
Cheers
Phil
