Tiger 1 Early Gallery: Tiger 1 Early Cut out the closed bin The kit didn't include the gun elevation motor and the rest of the beam, so this was scratch built. Blanked off the full bin Added accordian style collapsible doors and round blocks. To the best of my knowledge, this is how they work. Ammo racks Comleted Ammo rack. It's a little flimsy right now, but will firm up when in place. Scratch build the ammo containers for Rack J below the floor Added hose detail to the Extinguiser Cut out the Air intake, added detail and hinged the engine access cover Added seat from Dragon kit, additional detail to turn wheel Additional detail added to turret ammo hatch Painted up the brass rounds The turret is too small for the turret ring and roof. I added a spacer for a better fit. The muzzle baffle was not the best mold so I elected to use an extra from a Dragon kit. For some unknown reason Academy left the barrel just prior to the breach as a partial mold, so it had a huge hole the length of it. They couldn't have saved much plastic. I cut off the "bad" part and used tubing for the barrel. The hatches on the Academy kit aren't too bad, although they have some slight sink holes. I decided to use some Dragon left overs which had a little sharper detail.
