Hello chaps,
I have recently bought this wonderfull kit, but have to admit the choices shown in the instructions are a bit confusing. I want to build the command Tiger BTW.
Example:- page 1, B23(B24), C139C13) G9(G9), or C14. C14 is shown as the late Tiger, but so are the other parts?
This is only one example. I am sure you who are building this kit know what I am going on about.
Question is, has anyone gone through the instructions and listed the various parts for the various models? I have tried to do this but come unstuck with the above example. There are many more!
Any help would be very much appreciated. I am returned to modelling after many years. Although I have built a couple of trucks these modern kits are nothing like the stuff I built 30 years ago. Far more detail and options.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
Tony

Hi Tony,
I filtered the three different versions into seperate PDF files. Just send me your e-mail adress, and I'll send you the one desired....
Cheers, John.

Are the filtered instructions for the "Initial" Tiger or the "Late" Tiger. I bought the Late Tiger at an AMPS contest yesterday was absolutely dumbfounded at the confusion of the instructions.

He did it for the late version. I utilized his gift and believe me, when I build the kit that is what I will be using. I think the "initial" kit is a little less confussing in it's presentation of the instructions.

Oh dear, less confusing? While I eagerly anticipate building this one ("Initial"), I took a look and thought, gee, this will be a challenge! No matter, great looking kit and kudos to Dragon (and Hobby Lobby with their 50% off sale!)

John, I downloaded your PDF's a couple of months ago before I got my Tiger I Late. After looking at the instructions that came with the kit, I am really thankful that you went to all the trouble to seperate the versions and post them here. Thank you.

John, I read your thread back in mid August with interest and thought I would download them and make reference to your instructions once I have got the kit.
Unfortunately, after buying the kit couple of weeks ago, the links don't deem to work any more. Any chance of posting them again for those of us who bought the kit late and missed the boat?
