Hi this a Tiger 1 conversion to a Sturmtiger, Toon don't make one yet so I thought I would give it a go.

Donor kit.

Parts I'm going to using.


Parts in black to be removed.



Drilled out track links and removed the end links. (before & after)



Made R/H & L/H wheels and rear panel adding some missing detail.


Made up rear deck.

Started work on the gun housing block.




Thank you for looking in, all comments welcome good or bad.
Pete.

Hi Pete
You're really taken with these Toon Tanks aren't you. They are certainly great fun. This is a good idea and I have no doubt it will be a brilliant addition to your collection.

Hi gun and gun shield on plus M/G gave the shield a coating of Geso Liguitex to give a cast look. (dries matt in 24h) Added weld seam.






Made up raised wheel hubs.




Made wheel spacers to give a wider look to the vehicle.
