Armortek 1/6 scale Tiger 1, late variant, photo gallery

Photo gallery containing photos of my first Armortek kit. Late Tiger 1 produced by Armortek in 2007. An ongoing build with many scratch built components outside and in. It’s an ongoing project. Currently working on fitting the KwK 36 88mm gun.
The model represents Tiger 212 pz.abt. 101.
commanded by Balthasar (Bobby) Woll but better known as the Tiger driven by Michael Wittmann at Vilers-Bocage.
I started working in a very small spare bedroom. By the time I got to setting up the suspension I moved to a room downstairs that originally housed my model railway. At one point I was working on 4 vehicles in this room. When my twins arrived I built my present workshop. There I have plenty of workspace for collection and building tanks and making parts. I am considering building another small shed for painting and other dusty work.

TYPO (Tigers gun is Kwk 36 and not 33 as per credits.) Sorry.
