Hi guys

You can't beat the old Tamiya classics! Well actually you can with a Dragon kit

But I know me old mucker will do a good job on this one. Lord alone knows where he's going to put the finished dio though!

Go time yesterday to start on the wheels, wheels and more wheels. Lots of clipping and just a couple of swipes with the sanding stick and heh presto.
There is a lot of nice crisp detail even for an older kit.
I've labelled them into piles before I prime them.
I also started on the suspension arms and had to double check everything as I saw one side fitted ok ( dry fit ) but then the other side was the opposite direction . Checking the drawings etc it was right . Shows you how much I know of armour builds eh.
I may need to put an order in with John as I wouldn't mind getting a red oxide primer. ( black/ grey primer would suffice I'm sure but.......

Hi guys I'm looking fir a bit of advice
The rear bulkhead attaches to the rear of the KT and I'm looking at a angle so I'm thinking should this be filled with green stuff or should there be a weld seam?
KT experts out there?? The part is correctly fitted and snug

No that's right Robert. All King Tigers look like that.

Anyway, once you've added a bit of mud & dirt around there no-one will notice!
