A nice kit Robert I built the same one for the GB and really enjoyed making it
 
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! :eek:

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! ;)

Thanks Patrick
I found my hull red XF -9 and wanted to spray ( couldn't resist
 
Thread owner
Well this is where I'm up too so far
Wheels sprayed hull red ( couldn't resist ) but they will be over sprayed later ( so I can say it's a primer?
All wheels assembled and dry fitted for pics
Rear is all made up ready for primer.
Next I'm going to start on the turret and top quarters ( make as much before I prime the whole beast.
