discussion SimonT - Tamiya 1:35 Sturmmorser Tiger (AAGB)

[minitnkr]

Just outstanding details. PaulE

 

[Steve Jones]

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

880 holes were drilled and 220 links were sanded,

Good heavens. I'm so glad no one ever thought of putting tracks an aircraft. I commend your attention to detail, including the tracks !

Looks like a flipping big belt to me. Good effort though Jakko.

 

[Tim Marlow]

What about this then Colin?

PS, apologies to SimonT for the thread hi Jack

It may not be made up of individual links, but it’s definitely a tracked suspension (experimental on a B-36, to see if it would give it rough-field capability — it didn’t ).

That's madness! :tongue-out3:

Moreso than the rest of the aeroplane it was attached to, you mean?

Having built a B36 (1:72) I did wonder if that was a B36, then thought, no, that would just be silly. lol.

 

[SimonT]

Not got much done however, thanks to the extra pics supplied by Steve, I have made an approximation of the commanders hatch damper mechanism



I also added the tops to the exhausts and then rolled the etch shrouds and attached them

 

[Steve Jones]

Perfect Mr T. Well worth the trouble
