Question about Feifel air cleaners

flpickupman · Post by **flpickupman** » Wed May 24, 2006 5:59 am

Is anyone aware of a 1/16 Feifel kit being produced for the Tamiya Tiger I? Or perhaps in 1/18? Scratch building something like that is way beyond my capabilities, so I need a pre-built to put on my DAK Tiger custom.

Thanks

flpickupman, are using a 21C Tiger, if so what are you going to do about the road wheels? I am doing a simlar project. I have not figured out what to do about the air filters either. Please keep me up to speed on your Tiger project.

Yup, using a diecast 21C Tiger. You may have seen the photos of the progress I've made so far (click my website button if you haven't). Not pictured is the one headlight bracket I've fabricated and glued on in the SpzAbt 501 style. Since I don't have two identical headlights, I'm leaving it as if one bracket had been knocked/shot off.

Since one of the members demonstrated that the Panther's were too big to swap out, I have absolutely no idea what to do about the road wheels. I'm thinking of taking photos that won't show them. lol

if all else fails cake your wheels in mud/dust. That's the universal problem solver.

Weathering the road wheels? Now that's just silly! lol

(and also outside the scope of my skills

)

I'll admit that I'm not too keen on going all out on this project(partly because I'm a bit lazy

). I want to achieve plausibility, nothing more.

Flpickman,
I'm finishing the molds today for 1/18 Feifel filters for early tiger.

I made these for my 1/6th Tiger. Not difficult, just time-consuming.

Here's a proper early-style feifel filter that you can use for your 504/501st Tiger.

Keep in mind that's 1/16 scale.

Googly, thanks for the heads up.

Gary, those are pretty sharp looking. Good stuff. And Hun, I'm sure I'm not the only one anxious to see what you've come up with.

Mark,
When i first saw it---WTF----Then i read 1/6 scale, The angle of the picture Kinda caught me off guard,------ I wish i had one--------I can tell it's Huge, I have a lot of 1/6 Vehicle's but i don't have one of these.

If only i had Gary's Talent, Mixed with my Imagination,

, As far as wooferCustoms-- Right now i got a couple of cool things cooking, but the next big item will be another Jagdpanther, After that I'm going to throw everything into a 1/18 Hetzer.And who know what i'll come up in between these two.

Hun, I have a 1/6 Viper Tiger that is not as nice as Gary's Tiger. Mine is made of resin and aluminum and is heavy as hell. It is sitting in mothballs out in one of the sheds until I find the time to work on it. When I bought it I thought that I couldn't live without it. Now I am not so sure.
