My god Hendrik, that is some serious speed you're building with. Are you going to separate the wheels? That's my plan when I build this kit.

Wow! Waste no time! Haha
Looks great bud. Did you glue the barrel in permanently yet? It looks as though it's in the recoiled position or just loose in the sleeve.

The gun does look like it's recoiling. This kit builds up beautifully, That engine deck is sweet looking.

No worries H. I gotta say but... you're rocketing through this build dude.
I'm so far behind ya it's not funny.
I noticed a small thing about your track changing cables. It's easy to fix, a tiny drop of TET and you and just slide them to a new position. But the flynuts for the brackets are in the middle of the bracket, they should be on the end.

Here's a couple of photos if you want to give it a go.
The rest of your kittey is excellent. Fine build buddy.

Haha, I just don't want to seem like a rivet counter.
I saw it, it was an easy thing to fix, so I mentioned it. :)

Looking good, can't wait to see the paint on it. Where would we all be without Coen help and guidance. Not just with Tigers but with modelling in general :bow::
