Thanks guys

I'm not sure how many this projeckt cost...and I don't wonna know

At this momment I have 86 finished track links.Almost one track

To build I use only card....sometimes steel wire, to do few details.

I have question...about interior colour.I'm bulid tank from december 1944 (western front).Which humbrol match to the prim red ? H113 is corretct ?

Whole interior was painted with this colour...maybye only lower part of the hull ?

Best regards, Przemek

Take a look at this page:
http://www.tiger1.info/

It is really THE page for almost all information that you require for your Tiger.
I´ve used it extensivly when I built my Academy Tiger 1 with interior.

Wow, this is just amazing! How are you going to do the zimmerit though? I seem to remember something about the parts of the hull interior being painted primer red, with the turret being the beige or off white color. I'll see if I can find more info for you.

Przemek, this is the first time I ever seen anybody make their own tracks, cause if they have before, I've certainly missed it. That is something, and I knew it wouldn't be easy, and by the looks, you had a lot of cutting, and gluing to do, to come up with them nice looking tracks.

Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see the whole tank when you get it done.

Hi Przemek!

Just read the thread and all I can say (like the others) that your craftmanship and patience and skills are just stunning. I really envy your courage and patience to make all those tracklinks

What are your secrets? I always get bored after doing one track of Friuls.....

It seems that using card is much more easy then using evergreen etc. What are your pro and contras about using card instead of i.e using evergreen?

Keep us updated!
