Will this model consume much diesel when finished. It must run.......... were there so many parts on the real thing?

Ron,

Truely amazing stuff, Aber is crazy, I just finished one using the 1/16 set's smaller cousin, the 1/35 one, of course with my skill and the smallness, I cannot make them workable. You, sire, possess some amazing folding skills for PE.

Hi Dave and Cliff,

Thanks for the kind words.
For the toolclamps, yes they are easyer to made workable in this scale but I have managed to made them work in 1/35 it was the first time and last time that I did it

For folding the larger parts, I use the Hold & Fold verry usefull and worth the money.

Excellent Job Ronald.
As a seft appointed PE master (for 1/35), I feel that it is my duty to congratulate your excellent patience and skill even if it is in 1/16th scale.
As for you Dave, I am suprised that your hinges do not work on your 1/35th Tiger, I can honestly say that the ones on my Panther work. Sorry, just had to burn Dave #:-)

Anyway, Great Job and have fun painting and weathering the beast,
Andrew
