Tiger build

[mark j. radick]

Hi ! my name is Mark. I am living in SW Florida...started working again on my 1st gen tiger after a 13 yr break !...An accident that left me paralyzed and wheelchair bound, grand kids and a divorce delayed my build but I am now back to building again !...I also have a Flak 88 sitting in a box unstarted that will be next after I finish the tiger

Nice. Another Tiger 1 build. Pulling up a chair and some popcorn.

How come you have two barrels and muzzle breaks? Did you make the new ones yourself?

Hi,

Wheels and barrel looks to have been machined by Pete Fertl around 2008. He offered a machining service if you sent parts to him.

Cheers

Exceptional build with a lot of very talented machining work

Fantastic Just love those reworked spacers for the roadwheels. they are really an improvement compared to my 2003 spacer setup. I still have outer wheels spinning the oposit way when driving. It does not affect the driving capabilities, but its really anoying when filming and watching afterwards.

Does Pete still offer this re-work

Hi,

Unsure but you could send him an email on the below. I contacted him on it 9 years ago.

Yes ..that is Pete's work on the wheels and his barrel...amazing work ! I think he did this back in late 2007 or early 2008

Was dreading using epoxy putty to make the simulated welds along the pannier gussets, instead I used an epoxy glue I've used for many yrs building rc jets ...stuff stays where you put it ! just ran a little bead and waited for it to start hardening ...couple of hrs as it is a slow cure...hit it with a texture tool and was done..quick and easy..results are satisfactory

Same adhesive used above drivers armor...

I want to give a big shout out to Kian of Armortek sales ! I had an issue with one of my drive motors and he was able to send me a new (old original) motor in less than a week !..Awesome service !

Those are perfect welds. I'm going to have to rip my milliput out and use the loctite. What tool did you use?
