I have to say that I now understand why the manufacturer replaced the gray plastic with the new sand-colored plastic. I have a combination of sand-colored plastic on the tank and gray plastic on the tracks. The gray plastic is much more fragile, and when assembling the tracks, the connecting pins broke when I was joining the links. Even when unpacking the frames with the tracks, many pins broke off the frame on their own. And, of course, I lost a few of them, so I wasn't able to finish them. Luckily, I had a few connecting pins left over from the Meng Sherman kit, which I used. If I hadn't had them, I would have had to buy a new separate set of tracks. Why don't they put more of them in the RFM kit, like other manufacturers do? And because of their fragility, I had to make the tracks permanently non-functional. Because after gluing them together, they broke spontaneously. I really wanted to throw them away.

I haven't built the tracks that came with the kit I backdated, because I needed a different type of track for that, but I will keep this comment in mind for when I do want to build them 🙂

Construction is the same as for MiniArt Sherman tracks, right? The connectors have two small pins that are trapped by the halves of the block? In that case, you could probably use connectors from MiniArt or Gecko tracks, as they all use this method. I know for a fact that MiniArt provides a good number more than you actually need for a tank.

Nice and organized. I like the jig for the tracks. I have the wooden version.

Mark Sherwood
Deffo' organized Karel. Me, I'm all over the place. Nice build so far.

That's a very clean, and nice looking Tiger! I'm loving all the details, and well done with the ammunition!

This kit is huge! 1850+ parts on 46 sprues! That's about 20 average 1/24 car kits! A good 5 years or more worth of building by my standards! You've taken on an enormous task, sir. I wish you luck!

Villiers de Vos
Nice progress. Did the tracks came with the kit?

Nik Watson
I imagine they're nice with a splash of milk and just a little sugar....😉😄

Yes, they are part of the kit. But they require a lot of work when cleaning and assembling.

Watching.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work so far.

Pepe
Great!!!

Spanjaard
I agree with Pepe, fantastic details. and the zimerit looks great.

Thank you. Working with etched parts was challenging.Even though it's a large scale, many of the parts are vemi small. But it's worth it for the details.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Very nice work so far.

Happy sandind !
I'm building another one presently for a permanent exhibition at Trun (France), and i know what you mean by "another terrible kit" !
Anyway, this is the nicest aircraft of all time and it deserves this work ! 🙂
Regards !
