Pics came up fine.
Looks very dark, though

That would be the lovely dark tamiya olive drab colored kit. They look fine on the iPad for me,

[Army Vet]

Whats up everyone !
Thank you all for the comments . I cant wait to get further into the build. Any help and info along the way would be awesome . More pics to come .. Also is there a way to change the title or subject with out losing my posts and replies ?
Thank you all ..

Sure...I took the liberty to do that for you.

 

[spud]

all i would say is do teh trailer first because you may loose interest in that part i will get around to mine sometime

 

[Army Vet]

Scott .. Thanks for the title change.

Spud .. I was considering building the trailer first . Its like a small kit on its own. I was reading the instructions on how they loaded and unloaded tanks on this thing . It seemed like a laborious and dangerous job . There was nothing between the winch cable and the winch operator..
Thanks guys

there is a few vids on you tube of it in action you should go have a look when you have time. the reason i say do it is because my woman has told me she is getting me the german version for christmass so ill defo be do the trailer on that first!!

 

[fumblethumbs]

It will be great to see this kit built up! Lee, you gonna put some "cargo" on that trailer?

 

[schweinhund227]

I have a book that talks and has pictures of it all ???

The M-56 Tracktor is a Dream ! I have a Hint for ya....

The Tow Block that Hangs on the back of the CAB... needs to be cut off and rotated so
it can be Hung the right way ! the way Tamiya has moulded it its in the TOWING position !!!
not the storage position...

I'll send you a picture !

Hello everyone ..
Spud... Thanks for the youtube vid tip I will have to check them out ...

Fumblethumbs... Yes I am . I do not know what to put on it .. Some ideas that I had are .. Captured stug III or IV , I have seen a pic of a Panther on the trailer so I was kind thinking of maybe a BergePanther.. If you have any Ideas I am open for suggestions ??

Schweinhund227.. Thanks for the tip .. Any help or pics that you would be great thanks


Thank you all ..
Lee

 

[schweinhund227]

as for a load ive seen a pic with a jaged tiger on it and thats what im thinking of putting on my one, ltough i do have 3 Tigers to build so i may use one of them, but you dont have to limit your self to armor you can put just about any thing on it

 

[Chris S]

Dont forget your weight limit when considering your load 40 ton

Chris.

 

[spud]

jagdtiger is at least 70 tones

Nuff said ;D
