Lots of good ideas there Erich. Thanks!

After much work here it is. The new improved commander's cupola. I am much happier with this one. It looks to be the proper height, and the raised lip Terry had me add makes it look much more realistic. Thanks again Terry!

Great job Glenn, it looks tops mate !

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks guys! I am having fun with this one, and all it's cost me is 4$ for the Airfix kit and a copule of can's of Miller High Life (Ok 1 can of Miller. The second was just an excuse to open up another one!) Who needs to spen 40 bucks on a new high tech kit!

I thought this pic of some model Tigers might interest you Glenn. They're slightly larger than yours, from Mk1 Tanks.....

 

[T Bolt]

Yea Terry slightly. If mine was there next to those two you'd need to get out a magnifying glass to see it!

I've got the Tiger just about ready for paint. Tonight I added the air ducts on the rear deck made from 14 gage copper wire with hold down brackets made from that indispensable beer can aluminum. There was 4 times as much coper wire waisted than the amount that ended up on the Tiger due to bad bending of the tricky compound curve as it comes around the back. Also, I noticed in pictures that the exhaust shields on most Tigers were rather dented up so I mangled mine up some what. If I can find some time tomorrow I'll spray the whole thing with a coat of paint.

Just brilliant Glenn

Glenn, I gotta hand it to you. I did this kit and it was far too small for me. What you are doing is awesome! Go TBolt GO!

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks guys! Its been fun trying to detail the little bugger but to tell you the truth at this point I'll be glad to get back to something a little bigger..... like my Thunderbolt cockpit!

 

[Lucky13]
