Thanks Alan. It is very useful

If you find any other missing parts Polux, let me know - my Dragon kit comes with lots of spare bits!

Thank you very much Patrick!!!

Thanks again!!!

Hi all!


This evening I’ve been working on the exhausts.


These are the normal plastic pieces. Of course, there isn’t any kind of EP sheet that comes with the model

I added a scratch build pieces made from a lead sheet.

With an electric grinder I reproduced some damage.

Now I glued the lead pieces with super glue.

Then you just need to press the pieces with your finger.....and yep! Your exhausts looks much damaged now!


(you can add some plastic putty on the joins to seal the work)

Wow, that's a stunning tip, brilliant. Great work Polux

[Guest]

I’ve been working, as well, on those wings. I cut the different parts and created some damage for a better look.

And the main body....

Now I’m really worried with the tracks....looks quite difficult to work


Thanks for looking.


Polux

[monica]

liking the look of this one,what are the tracks,serpent rubber ones,


maybe should of put them on before joining the hulls,

[Guest]

Not Moni.


Are different size pieces on the center and one by one on the rear and front part


I'm thinking to paint the wheels and the tracks separaly and then glue all the set with patience, trying to don't damage the paintwork.

Some very nice work Polux

I'm building a 1/35 tiger 1 too Polux, yours is looking beasty with those guards. Pity about the missing hull piece but your replacement should look great with some Zim. I look forward to watching this.

Superb work so far Polux. Loving those exhaust shrouds.


Nice to see you back again Aaron, are you doing a build thread for your latest Tiger?
