Re: Early Tiger 1 from sPzAbt 503

I am currently struggling with the size of wheel screws and nuts. Every other wheel has screw heads and the other nuts visible and it appears that they are supposed to be different size. I didn't see that coming... :shock: I assumed the screw heads would be the same size: Markering_264.png It seems ...

Re: Early Tiger 1 from sPzAbt 503

I am waiting for new wheel screws, so have a bit of time to write here before work commences again. :angel: You remember the mess in the wheels: 20241024_135811_RESIZE.jpg The plan now is to prevent that in the future and that's where the new parts come in. They are flanges to sit on the rear of the...

Re: Armortek Tiger2 köpt utan hjul

Euuuw! Ser vingligt ut! Är det inte bättre att smälla ihop den och få iväg den i stället? :lol:

Re: STRV 122 1:6

Jag lider med AT som fördröjde leveransen för att allt skulle bli perfekt och detta den finaste modellen de nånsin gjort! Och så är det så svårt att få till det!
Tack och lov är den i goda händer hos dig! Väldigt spännande att få följa bygget - stort tack! :D

"Rubber cement" as in the stuff you glued photos in the albums in the old millennium?
Having things removable is always a good idea! Looks very good, indeed!

Re: Early Tiger 1 from sPzAbt 503

MrTyko and I had a chat on the phone today and I realize that our vintages were very close. I think his late issue is 2007/2008-ish and mine 2010 . There were lots of artefacts from the previous T1 issue, like the wrong loader's hatch, fan etc. If yours is the same range, there is a problem with the...

Re: Early Tiger 1 from sPzAbt 503

You are both going to love your steel tracks - congratulations and thanks for the cheers! :D I asked Liam to make steel sprocket rings for mine, but he backed out of it eventually and asked me to order from A-tek. I got their last steel set, but never installed them. The words from Gerhard Michel in...

Re: Early Tiger 1 from sPzAbt 503

Thank you Bob! :D The fixed fender didn't last long: :lol: 20250101_130133_RESIZE.jpg The support bearing idea comes from Liam Mahoney in Australia. There is a bigger need for it on the tiger II:s, but I figured I could test the idea here. If a motor comes loose, the gear still can't get out of alig...

Re: Early Tiger 1 from sPzAbt 503

Maintenance season! :thumbup: After fourteen years of enthusiastic driving in mud and snow, the semiannual maintenance turned out to require more effort this time. :lol: We had driving in deep snow last winter, severe mud and tall grass in Overloon in May and topped off with some sand in Hässleholm ...

Re: New for 2025 - US M3 Halftrack

Awesome!
People here have good experience with PLA track, so that should work. Personally, I would be hard pressed not to try sneaking in at least some TPE pads... :lol:

Re: Första bygget, ISU-152k

Kul bygge och imponerande vagn! Med den jättekanonen behöver man nog inte skjuta. Räcker att putta omkull fienden... :crazy: Bra med högtalarlåda också - det blir betydligt mer tryck i ljudet då.
