Do not under any circumstance threadlock hex grub screws untill you are absolutely sure atht everything is correctly put together.
My only problems were with deciphering the Multi-function unit instruction...the set up instructions are not that accurate for firing /machine gun etc. especially as i am using 6 channel radio gear on mine. See my threads in the tanks section.
I also made a hash of putting the road wheels together, once gain instructions not clear enough. you will know if they are wrong if yor track doesnt line up properly. Sadly i didnt take any photos of them incorrectly put together (bit embarrasing).
If you decide to upgrade her with after market part, be carefull. Most of the netstores will rip you off good and proper.
A perfect instance of this is gearbox upgrade to slow the tiger to proper scale speed. All webstores charge around £80.00 and make out that they are specially built (utter tosh) the gear down mechanism is a stock tamiya part, I bought 8 for £50.00.
NigeD is also a wealth of info on 1/16 TAMS
