I was finally able to take some semi-decent pictures of the models I finished last year and earlier this year. I'm still working on corresponding articles, but I've just finished one about my 2nd Tiger I from Tamiya.


Rest of the pictures, together with brief description of the build can be accessed here:

I hope you enjoy it. Any comments and especially criticism are welcome .

Thanks,

I wonder what PE set you used? Did it tell you how to place the lower supports for the spare tracks on the turret?

I used a generic Hauler set for Tiger I (48007). I don't remember the instructions but they weren't the best . I know that they're off. After I finished this Tiger, I got the "late" one from AFV Club and finally saw how the tracks should have been mounted.

Thanks,
