Hallo big-A modelers.
I could really use some of your knowledge on the subject...
I'm building a Tiger 1 with the engine out of the compartment so i'm looking for some usefull pictures of it
I've already checked all the well known sites(131 restoration,Sommaire,H E181,T1 article index...)and there are no pictures with the interior fully restored except the ones with the engine already in place,where nothing else is vissible!!
All wires,tubes and mechanisms need to be scratchbuit....
Do you know of any other sites that include this type of infos???
Thank you very much guys

Waldemar Trojca's Tankpower Tiger Volume 2 pages 94 and 95 has some very good 3 dimensional colour images of the engine.

Have fun

Thank you Rob,I'll try to find it here in greece(sounds kind of...impossible)
Does it have all the interior or just the engine??
Any other magazines or books that i could search for?
I found Osprey's but it's for 1/72.......

If you email me direct, I'm sure we could work something out. Not particularly familiar with what is revealed about user profiles on Armorama, but my address should be in the system somewhere.

Not particularly rapt in the idea of putting my address out where anybody could access it.

Rob,i've visited those sites too many times but still some things are in the dark side....
Brian,i'm looking for one specific item and it's too much of a trouble to go throught for just one pic...
I've allready had a lot of help from Rob Williams and i'm now looking for books...
Still,if you know of any other good site with photos,do let me know!!
Thank you all very much for your interest guys..
That's why people love armorama
