Excellent work! Thank you for the detailed explanation of your thought process. It really helps people like me who struggle with how to approach an idea. Great video!

I just completed the PE clamps for a 1/35 Tiger 1. A desk mounted magnifying glass with light was a huge help, along with the needle nose tweezers. I managed two at a time, then worked on other things for a while so I didn't loose my mind! lol

Nice! The desk magnifiers work very well. I've shown my own during the Panther build video for some extremely tiny details that came in a RochM set I bought. Two at a time?! That's incredible!

superb work - but I think those little tubular things you cut off the turret top were the lifting mounts, ie, they weren't ejector pin marks, they should be there.

Thanks. You're the second person to note that and I do appreciate the insight. I can't seem to find those lifting mount spots in reference photos though. I'll post a few and you all can see what I'm seeing. I believe everyone, I just can't make it out in the photos. Interestingly enough, the kit instructions don't show them on the part either.

They were mounting hoist to pull covers for maintenance of engine. Meng has the jib and hoist in the Jagdpanther G2 kit was thinking using it on a tiger or king tiger model. The three you cut off turret roof

@@relentlesstorm I think my reply to you must have been deleted because it included a link to a website - nevermind, I'll reiterate it without the link. I had a look online myself, and of course found absolutely no photos showing the turret detail (typical), but I did come across a Tiger 1 information website, and found that the hoisting points were introduced some time in 1944 - and apparently in May of that year, they made a few turrets with that big weld seam down the middle, that had no hoisting points. I suppose the takeaway here is that despite cutting yours off, it isn't necessarily wrong to do so, and any pedantic A hole like myself who points it out should chill the F out, and maybe not be so smug. go steady.

Look's sick man!!!! Your photoetch fenders and mud flaps look killer all beat up. Great job, I'm glad I saw you on the HTM, you're one of my favorite armor modelers on youtube!!!!

Hi have just come across your video's and thanks for the great tips especially the etch clamps and Tamiya bending pliers really useful I will buy some some and eventually buy a RFM Tiger. I have already have the Panther F but have too many other projects on the go but having recently got back into modelling you have inspired me to improve, great video's and great results.

Great build especially the photo etch - thats a killer isnt it?!!😆 (Just a small point but the three little nubs on the turret roof you thought were a manufacturing fault and sliced off were actually on the real tanks - they are called pilzen and were used by the heavy lifting cranes for attaching lifting hooks when removing and replacing the turret for maintenance or repair)😉

Ah! I didn't know that. Thanks for the insight! PE is one of those things that is difficult and time consuming but the results are (most times) worth the effort.

@daveybyrden3936

That's not the purpose of Pilze. They are threaded mounts where a small crane can be attached to the roof. A crane with the capability to remove the engine. For lifting the turret, you would hook onto the three protruding lugs on the sides, which are much bigger.

Thanks. The black tweezers are very common. I'm assuming you are asking about the very fine pair of silver tweezers. Here is an amazon link where I found these. a.co/d/7U8rTPX They are for soldering small wires on microchips but they work great for tiny parts and PE

What do you recommend for brushes for detailed work,

@relentlesstorm

Good question! I've tried quite a few and my favorite so far is an Army Painter Precise Detail brush. It has enough body to hold paint and is just the right size for small details at 1/35 scale.
