Dragon 1/72 Tiger I

[Thunderbird]

Hello
I would like to enter the group build with the 1/72 Dragon Tiger I.

Thank you Coen for all the wonderful and informative videos on Youtube and threads on the forum.Your hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated.

Looks to be an excellent kit bud. Well chosen.

The Dragon instructions are not very clear , but:

Have done a bit more on the Tiger:

Completed all the wheels


Had to sand this one down by about half to fit in between and line up with the rest:


The rear deck does not have panel lines for the engine hatch, so added some:



The loader's hatch was way too high, so cut it off and sanded it down:





That's all for now folks

[Coen]

Nice improvements

[Thunderbird]

No photo etch screens, so had to make some:

Started with Tamiya tape


and transfered over to some wire mesh, probably not to scale, but that's all I have


and cut out




Not as nice as store bought, but it'll do (Actually first time I tried this, it'll be better next attempt )

Great build! What a smart idea for the engine grilles! Love it, especially as it's the 1/72 scale!

[Coen]

[Thunderbird]

Next are the exhausts ,probably won't even notice once the shields are in place but

Cut out the solid section,drilled some holes and added wire rod
