About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

Tiger 1 (mid) - LSSAH - Russia July 1943

Here is the new DML "Orange Box" mid Tiger 1 with a few tweaks and extra aftermarket items. I added or amended the following

*  Voyager Resin and PE Feifel air cleaners
*  Griffon model S mine dischargers
*  Karaya soft brass tow cables
*  Etched brass tool clamp handles
*  Hollowed out cleaning rod ends
*  Metal headlight cables
*  Metal track pins added to the turret spare links
*  Metal grab handles added to spare link holders
*  RB Metal barrel
*  Crew figures from Jaguar and Tank

The vehicle is coded "1314" which was I believe Michael Wittman's vehicle. There are no photos of it, so the actual paint scheme is conjecture. It's a great value kit straight out of the box. I particularly liked the quick-assemble wheel and track system. No clean up, and assembly in around 30 minutes - brilliant!
