Hello Michael ... What I did was to buy one of Dragons new 2007-2008

1/35 scale tiger kits . They have all the correct welds in the right places . Plus it is handy as a builders model.

I sense sarcasm.

Michael, look at all of Dale's posts regarding his Tiger build. great weld reference. As I have not built my Tiger yet, I didn't feel qualified to respond when you first posted but read with interest for future reference.

As far as views to response ratio? get used to it. As Adrian said, It's a forum open to public viewing.

kind regards

Tim

There were two good reference book that a few of us gotten during the introduction of the armortek tiger, it shows all the patterns of the welds. I need to dig for the book and provide you with the name and publisher.

Meanwhile, can some one recall?

Hi Michael,

Just managed to dig this out over the weekend....when I found the time

Most if not all the old timers working on their Mid to Early Tigers recommended this book as one of the most informative among the two, IMO. There is a wealth of information comparing the different versions. Lots of drawings, pics and details. More than enough for your questions on weld marks.

The reference book: The Modeler's Guide to the Tiger Tank - A complete and comprehensive guide to modeling the Tiger I and Tiger II in 1/35 scale

Publisher: Ampersand Publishing
