Tiger I - sPzAbt 502

This is my new project: Tiger I initial of Dragon "3 in 1" series. This Tiger will be of the sPzAbt 502 - Tactical No. "100". This is my first Dragon model, normally I build Tamiya, Academy, Trumpeter and Gunze-Sangyo. This kit is interesting because it includes photo-etched, metal gun and more accessories. I will try to explain the best as possible the construction.

Chapter 4 - Front plate, tools & rear compartmentAug 1, 2005
Here we have some photo-etched parts with the tools. The brackets are formed from three pieces. The handle of the shovel will have an effect of damaged wood.

I re-worked the front plate with two brackets more realistic. For the presicope I added two brackets which the kit does not include.

The fuel tanks and the radiator do not have great detail, but will becovered by the grating. The ventilator fans do have good detail and can appear with the gratings open.
