Construction

Strarting with nice details of the sprocket and ildler wheels

 

In the rear plate the instruction sheet indicate the removing some details

 

Modellers maybe would not like this wheels system , but it is not so bad, it is just quite rare but effective.   It was only necessary to sander at 2 points instead of 8.

 

   

I have read that the new wheels system was made to align them, but it was not aligned correctly, I only made a small drilling in order to adjust them in the hull.  At the end I sandered 10 points instead of 40.

 

Here was a small problem, instruction wrong; the piece P11(exhaust pipe) it not fixing with Cl1, the correct adjust is B6 with Cl1.

The jack tool is extendable and coming with brackets.

 

 

The crystal clear added in the left mud guard.   So far the pieces are fixing well!.

 

Working the cooling system, it coming with two missing plates. I added them with styrene, really I gave them little attention because will not be shown after of finish the work.

   

 

Detail of hatches are very nice, I will shown open them.

 

You have to be careful with two brackets which contain 3 diminute pieces.

 

The Port of Vision can be open and close.  I added blue craft paper, the shinning is natural and excellent!

 

Glued the grilles using "Ultra-Grlue MIG", Is it a strenght acrylic adhesive specially designed for photoetched and clear parts, can be apply with brush, odorless.

 

 

Bosch lights: inside the cap it has a clear part, the conexions wire, for this I used Plus Model "Lead Wire", it have excellent maneuverability.

 

CORRECTION: G25 is okay!.  Thanks to David Byrden for youy help!

 

For the pipets, the number W2 need to cut th cone in order of a correct fixing

 

Hull are ready, after of paint I will add the tools after of paint.  The driver's side tow cable costs a bit of work to adjust because it is lifted with the rear grille latch.

   

 

The turret ready, all fixed without problems.

   

 

Finished the construction, after of paint I will add the tools.   For me is rare see one tiger with a this turret, but looks very nice!
