Whilst waiting for parts to arrive to complete the Chieftain I have started on a Tiger 1 that's going to be made up of all my favorite parts, you will get the idea as the build goes along. 8)

I do still need an early cupola if anyone has a spare, I do have a mid for trade if required?

A couple of the road wheels finished, that's about as far as I shall go with the road wheel detail for now. 8)

323 from the 503rd heavy? Good choice! :D

You have developed a good feel for what details make a difference and what to skip. The wheel bolts really do stand out! Awesome! :D

However, you really do need to get better idlers for this quality level, but I have a hunch that they are already in the pipeline? :wink:
If not, Liam in Australia can help you out with idlers second to none! :D

Hi Christoffer, glad you approve! Yes I agree the idlers need some work and it's all in hand. Good old Tiger 1 you just can't beat them. 8)
