Thank you for the replies, gentleman i would like to see how far i can push an RC Tank detail wise, one advantage over the Hobby boss is working hatches and some neat detail but i would say Mike will finish much sooner and always a great watch.

I have a good amount on the go at the moment and will post an update, as long as Sharon doesn't find out i used her fairy house grass and shrubs for the stuG IV :whistle:

No worries about the pics Tom! Everything shows up well mate :th:. Your Tiger I is really a beast and looks excellent so far - certainly the figures (Tamiya - I guess) as well. Wish I would have enough space to stow such a huge tank in my shelf :crazy:.
I'm not exactly sure about the brand of your kit but thought it isn't a HobbyBoss, is it? Otherwise you should be part of the HobbyBoss 1/16 Tiger I Buddy Build.
Anyways ... will follow your progress and hope to see much more of your work soon :cheers2:

just out of intrest
is there any more progress on your build
and by the way thanks for that linbk to that german company they have some cool stuff for these big tanks
but thanks to you i'm in doubt if just a commander will be enough since i saw the hatches they produce (and now i want them)
plus a commander is only 30% cheaper then a crew set of 4 (the verlinden offer)
but if there is some progress i'm sure we will all hear about it
cheers Mark

Thank you Markus and the figures are Tamiya, it's a pleasure to see you here.... Mark im still buying parts and have fitted Aluminum vent to the front and the convoy lamp to the rear which will be wired later, most of the purchases will be February now, but i will do a couple of updates or at least do the photo-etch parts.
