Hi all.
My workshop was recently an early "Tiger" company Academy (13239) with a full Interior. Ultimately, it was supposed to be a tank from Tunisia with no. 712 with 504 Battalion Heavy Tanks, but after the consultation on the forum and getting info about the low compliance with the original model, I shelved it, you try to play it (treatment rather have outgrown my skills). It was proposed to me one of the tanks fighting on the eastern front and my choice fell on this tank. Here a few links:

Nice camouflage, photographed with each page featuring an exclusive with external problems will not.
I plan to model the following additions (tick means that the set of already purchased):
-barrel RB 35B01 Model 35B01 V
-barrel MG34 RB Model 35B38 V
-internal parts Eduard 35500 V
-exterior partsEduard 35498
-Tower tray (like Kursk) Panzer Art 35064
-Techmod 35008
-chipolopolos Tamiya 35189
plus tow, track (probably Friul) wires to perform the wiring.


He asked me also about a pair of photographs taken inside such as. the right page the cannon and more photo MG34 and the way his mount, left page back of the tower and more specifically the hatch as well as photo platform attached to the top of the Tower on which there should be a fire extinguisher, canisters, etc.


And now a few pics.
We start from the upper Tower:


Cannon:


Down the base of the tower. Unfortunately I do not know the professional name (Here I have already all glued together but I could not do pics):



Engine:


And at the end a small comparison with the T-34:



I hope that the insiders do not have objections to my work.

Regards Martin G.

I think you are off to a great start. I'll keep watching. Turret basket is the word you were looking for in English, I think.

I'm no "expert", but the work you've done so far looks great to me!

And Russ is correct with the term turret basket.

Excuse me for my poor English but unfortunately I translate which translates as you can see.

Greet colleagues with USA and thank you for the explanation of the term

Hello
Work slowly going forward. So it looks like today.
Here, lacking only the cables:

Here probably also something else we do;):


And replace the Tower:



Here I have to finish up the right side and cables.

I also meant to make moving suspension. Perhaps someone knows how? Has a link to the Guide step by step?

Regards
