1:35 AFV SturmTiger prototype conversion
Posted: 15 Feb 2018, 06:13
Good day Gentlemen
Now the Breda is built, time for something bigger.
Why build a Tiger I or Sturmtiger OOTB, when with a little effort you can make it much more difficult for yourself
The cast iron prototype did see service in Warsaw in 1944, but, as it was vulnerable to AT fire, general service was out of the question.
I will use the redundant top of the mid production Tiger I to build a Kelly's Heroes Tiger, as one of my top 5 retirement builds
Where to start?
Sturm tiger reviews
The best is yet to come?
Always good to check out what's available, and as I now have 2 AFV SturmTigers, I shall be using one of those
The base tub and running gear is another matter, it is an early-mid production, with Feifel filters not the late production steel late wheel version, and no zimmerit either, though the Kelly's heroes Tiger does have zimmerit, so that might influence the decision too
So, time to research the kits I have against, what little there is out on the interweb, this is a good start to review too
part build blog
Research update,
production number of prototype
Which was produced December 1942 and delivered to SS Pz. reg I, which moves things back to an early production model, time to get back up in the attic and look at the possible donors
Another useful link
monthly productions changes for the Tiger I
The donor of the undercarriage
Revell Tiger I Tiki
Time to get stuck in and sniff some glue and cut some plastic
More soon?
