Good idea :D

There is a TMD conversion kit for the Henschel prototype available. The Porsche version should be easier when using the Italeri kit.

Got the Italeri

The Ryefield would be a good base for the Henschel with this as a guide

prototype henschel tiger

Can't get motivated to build or paint, but buying and surfing still seem to be OK :roll:

Hoping for better in 2018,

Looks like you got almost everything you need then :)

Funny enough, the Academy Tigers come with the unique initial style sprockets, which is wrong for all Tigers except a few from the very beginning of production.
