Border IJA tiger I 1/35.

I think most German field mechanics said much the same thing.

Haha right! And I bet they were more frustrated than I!

D'you think?

"Hans where does this wheel go?" "It's marked!" "Yes, but you used chalk to mark it…"

I hate to derail this thread more than already, wait, not I don't!

Have any of you seen the film "Der Tiger"? It is on Amazon as "The Tank" right now.

I heard about it before it came to theaters, and was turned off by the premise/trailers. But figured I'd watch it for free, or when it came to a streaming service I already paid for. Just curious what you thought. No spoilers here if you want to discuss it in detail we can do another thread.

And I just realized this is MY thread being derailed- I'm so offended!

 

[Ron2]

Mostly assembled and ready for paint. Primed with Mr color cans. Need to prime the wheels and assemble tracks. All the tools and whatnot are completed.

 

[Ron2]

Does anyone know what these two parts are and what color they would have been? AI is telling me the first image is a wooden jack stand. It had no idea what the canister looking thing is. There are two straps on the canister. Tool kit for cleaning rods?

The canister is a fire extinguisher. I have seen them painted red, and painted over with vehicle color.......grey, dark yellow, or camo.

Thanks. It's an odd place to keep a fire extinguisher.
