Re: Scratch Built Initial production Tiger I Project

Will you be building an engine or will you be using one from another company

For this model I will be fabricating a new detailed Maybach engine. The engine once complete will be added to the product line.

Before starting the engine masters, I focused on the tank's radiator and cooling fan cluster.









I now have 90% of the components complete and am now finishing up the last of the fittings and right hand side air breather radiator cover. Once complete this set will be added to the product line. Until then here is a sneak peak of the set.







One unique feature that this set will have is the the fans are full function and are electrically powered. This will give the model a nice detail element, and if the tank is RC the fans will help pump cool air into the vehicle.











Along with the cooling system I fabricated the tank's rear engine compartment drain water plug. The plug is all fabricated of brass and metal.





The tank's fire wall sliding access plate was added as well.



The last bit of detail that was added was the tank's exhausts cooling manifold. The snorkel tube will be added very soon.





I have started on the engine and once the last parts of the cooling system are complete I can focus on the engine in full steam. More progress to come.
