Ron's right chap. The roadwheels are correct but I hope you haven't glued them fixed yet, otherwise it will be impossible to fit the drive sprockets and idler wheels.

Cheers

I've just had a blimp at my Tigers and you won't get the front and back wheels on as you have them at the minute.

The front road wheel deffo. goes between the cogged one. The rear idler wheels go between the last two road wheels. It shows (just) the overlap on the first sheet of instructions you've posted.

Shape up 453!

Welcome to the wild, wacky and wonderful world that is Tiger 1 wheel configuration.... :upside:

As the saying goes 'you're not the first and won't be the last' who gets confused!

Hi all, thanks for the advice. I'd not glued them on, just need to add the sprockets as I build it up.
As long as the layout is right I shall redo, but adding the sprokets.
Correct ?

You've got them the right way around, by the looks of it. The easiest way to assemble them, in my limited experience of building Tigers, is to first put all the wheels B8 on, on one side of the tank. Then, put the sprocket and one 《b》 set on together, followed by the other 《b》 sets and the idler. Then do the 《a》 sets, and finally, the loose wheels B6.

Well as as one I can agree :smiling2: .

Thanks Jakko.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Grateful. I'll get them on now.

In the meantime, Matron has come through with her hypo for a round of shots for the whole lot. I have already crept out the door and am keeping a safe distance from this mess!:tongue-out3: LOL Rick H.

Thanks guys, still having problems though
The first set of wheels , on one pin.


The wheels fits fully on .
In the other end the wheel goes on up to the collar.
As below



Now if it only goes on to the point of the collar, then the sproket is out of line.
Is the one in the first photo correct please.
To be trueful I'm getting rather frustrated and p***d off at the moment, just taken all week to get this far.
Don't seem to have the mojo.

John, is the wheel in the second picture the right way round?

If the thing is getting you down, walk away for a while.
