SimonT - Tamiya 1:35 Sturmmorser Tiger (AAGB)

[Jim R]

Hi Simon
Finished track looks good. Is it fixed in place, glued to the wheels?
Jim

[SimonT]

Track is loose Jim




added the hull fixing plates that are inside behind those big pointy bolt heads


added the stepped anti-bullet armour inside the sight aperture and the surrounding weld - hopefully it will look a bit better after tidying once dry


added the mount for the hatch counterbalance

haven't been able to find a picture of the internal end of this device so there will be a bit of guesswork involved

Simon .I've used those Masterclub tracks once, agree with you about looking better pin wise , but there doesn't seem to be a big choice. If you found them fiddly you can I
imagine how I faired ! Had to stand them side on and get the pin in from the top think I spent more time searching for " flying " pins than anything.

Nice detailing by the way .

[SimonT]

There are a fair few now John but not as many as Friuls. MC ones are harder to source as well.
I can imagine you had a bit of trouble with the vision problems and those small pins.
I have pinged quite a few pins - just hope I have enough left

[Guest]

Simon I have approx 12 pins, assuming they are the same dia and length, yours if you want.

Just outstanding details. PaulE

Ive Dropboxed you all the details of the SturmTiger that you are looking for. The internal picture of the Nahverteidigungswaffe is on Page 22 showing the catch for you



I have pictures of the counter balance as well but I just cant get any decent wifi out here in Stratford. I will get them out to you on Friday mate

[SimonT]

Thanks for the offer John - I shall let you know :thumb2:

[SimonT]

Steve - sorry, missed your post.

I have pics of the grenade launcher and top of the counter balance ta.

It’s the bottom half of the counter balance I am missing.

I can tell it has a circular top plate but no idea if the rest is a spring or hydraulic damper

All the internal photos I have are of incomplete vehicles with no brackets or counter balances so if you have info on the lower section that would be great - thanks

My picture shows a simple weight system. I have several internal pictures of a crewman inside unloading the shells from the pully system and placing them in the breach. I also have extensive walk around internal photos of the original Sturmtigers. I'll be home sometime Friday and I will get them Dropboxed over to you.

At Telford there were two traders. One with a table full of Friuls and another with a table of MC. The MC table was a mad scrum so didn't get a look in. The Friul trader was selling them all for £20 a box.

[SimonT]

That would be great Steve - thanks

Friuls at £20 is a pretty good price - did you partake?

[Guest]

I'd have bought the lot :smiling:

[Steve Jones]

I like to buy as and when I need the things as I am not a great one for stashing stuff

I have dropboxed over four books for you on the Sturmtiger. Any problems let me know.

If anyone else wants copies just PM me

[SimonT]

I love a bargain - that's why I have spent a fortune amassing enough kits to start a shop of my own :thinking: :rolling::smiling5:

Cheers Steve - received
