So now the Tiger build...

the kit comes with a lot more parts than the Sherman.

Most of that is the rolling wheels, of which there are 4 for each side.

(Plus the front support wheels and rear drive cogs)

Each wheel has an inner and outer part, plus a small neoprene (hidden inside) bushing.

Tracks are the same black rubber style, to which I did the same dry rub silverish.

Once again, everything snaps together easily and very securely.

There is very little clean up required, but I still tried to smooth out mating surfaces,

and I did some outer scuffing with scotchpads.

Lower hull is one large piece this time, with two side hull plates that have the axle stubs.

Each wheel pushes onto an axle with those neoprene bushings providing the connection.

From there the wheels spin freely.

Fitting the wheels is a small challenge since every wheel has to be installed at the same moment.

They must all be grouped into place and then pushed onto all 6 axles at once!

It's a really tight fit.
