Nice work. The cupola on early tigers was not a cast surface though, it was a machined finish. The vision ports on the model's cupola are too close to the turret roof and should be higher up.
Thanks! Actually in this video I'm just using some plain wire I got at hobby lobby. I've since mostly switched over to lead wire. you can find it on amazon, usually for tying flies
Thanks for your fast response, that is great, I have a roll of aluminium wire that I bought years ago 1mm thick it is soft & easy to cut however I did find it just a bit difficult to get a bend on it without the pliers snipping it, I did however manage to get a curve, I also managed to drill out the holes for the headlamp connectors & put brackets of aluminium foil from food containers over the part where the wire meets the hole.
Yeah sometimes the pliers can dent it pretty badly. If you’re having trouble with that, I can reccomend you trying to roll the wire over a cylinder of a slightly smaller radius than the curve you’re trying to make. It tends to make fairly nice bends in a pinch!
Another great video! This tank is looking amazing. I can't wait for more.
i guess it is kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch new series online ?
@Lane Drake try flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Brantley Bryan Yup, have been using flixzone for months myself :D
@Brantley Bryan thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!
@Lane Drake You are welcome :)
One day someone will make the Tiger1 in 1/16 with full interior detail....
Very nice work. Great video 😎👍
Thank you!

Gotcha, thanks!
Hi Scale Studio, I love watching your expert videos excellent. Could I ask what wire are you using please?

Oh Hobby lobby, we call that store Hobby Craft here in the UK.

@@TheScaleEngineer Oh ok thanks, never thought of that sprue would do the trick.
Very nice 👌👌👌
Thank you!
I have just discovered your channel today and I am really impressed keep up the good work
Nice video ! Can you tell me what's the diameter to do the handles ? 5:58
I did 0.4 mm wire. But anything plus or minus a 10th of a mm should wor
@@TheScaleEngineer Thank you ! Have a nice day :)
You too
What's the diameter of the wire you used to make the handles?
0.4mm, but anything close to that will be fine
