Hi gents. been busy with life for a while, so this is my first post for a bit. And my first tank! I found this on ebay whilst randomly searching for other stuff, a few minutes to go, not many pics, not listed as Tamiya and a couple of glasses of wine inside me..... Perfect conditions to take a gamble then :). Got it for a great price, and when it first turned up I could not have wished for a better box of goodies to open. I should have taken some before pics of the contents. Yes it was the full option Tiger 1 that I thought it was, all the bits that were not in the pics were in a plastic box, along with chargers, batteries, paints, tools, radio charger, unpainted commander, skirts and loads of kit parts and bit and pieces! The tank itself was vaguely painted in desert yellow, and not much glue holding it together. Perfect for a strip down and rebuild. Hope you like the progress so far. Bit of light battle damage, loads of paint, weathering and fun. Comments welcome.

Wine and eBay can get you in trouble. Looks like it wasn't such a bad mix though looking at this one
