David,
Honey do's and all day Sunday with the wife . . . now a little time for me again!
David, those Tiger 100 color plates are outstanding! I can't wait to use them when I put together Tiger 100. I have gone ahead and stored them on my computer. Thank you so much for making them available to me and to all those viewing this topic too. I sincerely, appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness in taking your time and effort to help me get this project pointed in the best possible direction with the most current available information. Your opinions, drawings, sketches, information, documentation, Tiger I . info website and thorough ongoing hard research on the Tiger I are highly regarded and respected by me and many in the modeling community around the world.
Again, thanks so much for your support and kindness and for answering my modeling colleague's and my many questions.
Marc,
Your always welcome to stop in on any of my topics as I have much to learn from a 'great mind' (and super sense of humor) and model builder such as you. I can use all of the help that I can get in this ever changing art form.
And thanks to all for dropping by to view.

I should mention: those extension pipes on the mufflers are 500mm long in real life.

Thanks for including the actual dimensional length for the extension pipes (field improvised flame guards - according to the Dragon kit box art). I do have a question regarding to what appears to be 5 short evenly spaced lines running horizontally from just above the bottom of these extension pipes on your Tiger 100 color plates? A same set of lines also appear to be 180 degrees apart of the extension pipes on the Tiger 100 color plate profile side views? Were these lines a kind of slit cut into the extension pipes? Could there have been slits used on the extension pipes to allow for mixing of the cold outside air with the hot exhaust gases to help in reducing the amount of cloud like vapor trail? Just wondering?

We can see these slits on the big photo of Tiger 3 but they're not very clear. I assume they are there to create a chimney effect. I think I can see them on 100 but it's just my opinion.

OK! That clears that up and now on to upgrading this little beasty! I will post new photos when I finish with the upgrading.
Again, thanks so very much David.

Man!! Braille, builds like this are totally disgusting. This looks like it could be a museum piece. In fact, I've seen less impressive builds in museum displays in larger scales. Thanks for showing the rest of us how far we need to improve our skills.
