Tiger Tank Update: First Set of Tracks Fitted

WP_000340

I finally got around to doing some more of my tiger tank build at the weekend. Last week I received the final parts of the series so I thought it was time to get back into it. In this session I fitted the exhaust stacks to the back of the tank and added the left track. The track is made of 96 metal links held together with pins.

I did encounter some badly cast track links, but these were overcome with a bit of filing and brute force.

The second 4 parts of the series include the main chassis, the front chassis, the front lower wish bones and the first Tyre.

Strangely they have also sent Vettel’s head which I can only assume they have included as an option if you do not like Mark Webber. As far as I know British and Australian subscribers get a Mark Webber edition where as Germany are further into a Vettel themed model.

You can see the First wheel and tyre glued together in the Photo along with a battery to give an idea of scale.
