Note the Tigers tracks! They are piano wire tight, the Tiger has been sitting out side for nearly five years, I'm hoping that when it's been towed around for a bit that they will loosen up a little.
The tracks are not armortek and don't fit all that well but after shaving the middle row of double wheels on the lathe they run ok.

Hi Phil,

a nice mini dio. What about a gras carpet under the tanks?

They will soon be in the mud! It's amazing how much room the two vehicles take up, just paced it out at eight and a half feet.
Did some driver training last night and it's surprisingly easy to place the towed vehicle just where it's wanted, reversing is also a pleasure.
As the drive train is still tight and dry the Tiger is currently producing a lovely squeak and clanking sound just like full size armour ( the video of the Tiger 2 in France is an excellent example ) I just hope it's still there when it's time for filming! Regards Phil
