SimonT - Tamiya 1:35 Sturmmorser Tiger (AAGB)

[SimonT]

Hi Steve - kit version a little simplified to aid moulding and a bit weedy looking compared to photos of real thing

[Mini Me]

I had this same problem on my 1/87 scale Morser. Ended up rebuilding it also. Yours is coming along nicely Mr. T. Rick H.

[SimonT]

Bet that was fun in small scale Rick

Scrapped mine - wasn't happy with it. Dried a bit wonky.


Mk2 version

Much hair pulling and blue air!!

[Steve Jones]

Glad you stayed awake long enough to get Mk2 finished LOL

Morning Simon
That looks good, mind you mk1 looked good to me. Must have been a long job judging by the time you posted the finished effort :rolling:
Stay safe.
Jim

Simon,
That is well worth the effort, nice job.

Very respectable Mr. T.

Simon I spy that nice mitre cutter that Allen has just got.No doubt used to make the crane

[SimonT]

Thanks all - still needs work but I think Mk2 may survive

John - morning. Yes it is the RPT cutter, bought from John at the shop. Rather expensive but a very nice piece of kit and much better than the Cutter. Used it to make the arm with the 45deg angle on the end

Neat looking Tiger Simon, nice crane too:thumb2:

Yes Simon some grand improvements with this, the fully adjustable arms look really well designed. Does the cutter blade cutter still tend to under cut as the chopper does , or have they strengthened the arm as well ?
Too late for me to splash out on one, I shall have to continue with the old one, but have some ideas re mods .

What do you mean by under cut? Cut the part shorter than you want it to? I’ve not really checked that with mine, but the whole thing feels sturdier than the Chopper, I know that.
