PzKpfw VI Tiger I 1:25 Kartonowy Arsenal 6-7/98

[Daimyo]

Hello all. This is my first post on this forum. I'm currently building Halinski Tiger I and here's my progress so far. I hope you'll like it.



Torsion bars


Driver compartment




I noticed at this time that parts that should be grouped are scattered through different pages, which makes searching for required parts a bit difficult. It's so probably because the model was published 11 years ago.

Engine with some mistakes I couldn't avoid




Finished engine compartment. Some parts have mistakes, like white areas that other parts do not cover.




Firewall, batteries, driveshaft


Ammunition storage, bulkhead




Some shells. There should be 18 of them in the model, but there are 2 copper shells missing, so I could make only 16 complete shells.


Completed the front part.



And started working on the rear. I decided to make the top plate removable for easier display of the interior.

awesome job so far! I saw the kit on kartonbau.de - Kartonmodellbau, Kartonmodelle, Cardmodels, Cardmodeling and it doesn't look easy

[The Orange]

Wow! Looking awesome! Love the interior.

Are you the same Daimyo that made that Steyr RSO at Zealot? If so, you did a magnificent job on it, especially the canvas!

[B-Manic]

Thanks for sharing Augustas, your model looks great. The build looks nice and clean.

[redhorse]

Great job so far!

[Zathros]

Really nice build, the interior is fantastic. It's a shame you can barely see it when it is alll together, but of course, you will always know it's there and that's half the fun.

nicely done, can't wait for the next installment.

I have a couple of tanks with interiors and have zero idea how to go about it. Great stuff, you definitely know what you're doing

[dansls1]

Looks great! As far as bits being scattered and not grouped, I've found the same on most of my Halinski airplane kits as well - I think they just focus on fitting everything on a less paper to keep the cost down

[Daimyo]

Wow, I didn't expect so many replies just after one post. Great to see such a strong community here and thanks to you all for your kind comments.
The Orange, yes I've built the RSO and it's coloured version is waiting it's turn after this little cat is complete.
Zathros, as I mentioned the top hull plate is removable, so it's going to be easy to show the interior when there's a need. I had a bit of a problem keeping the cardboard close to the vertical walls, but then I used a double adhesive tape and now it looks quite nice, almost no gaps anywhere - just as it would be glued to the rest of the tank.

A little update. I glued almost all the parts on the rear plate, only Feifel air filters and jack remain to be made and some parts made from wire.
