Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Really brilliant job. I really like the effects of the burnishing on the tracks. Well done bravo You have done impressive work on this tiger!
Tanks alot....
Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Thanks mr73 and mr bix Been a learning curve, well worth it, You learn more from the mistakes you make.
Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Did not like the hassle of decals on the Zim, made some stencils. Quite like the emblems like the hammer and lightning , thats something to look for and try to make. Would have been better to try the little one first as its a flat surface.
Not perfect but on the zim a little overlap and its not a flat surface , next time will use better sticky sheet.Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Numbers look great
Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Thanks all One question is it worthwhile doing a number on the rear of the turret ?
Panther and tiger1 yes but not found a king tiger rear no photo.

Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Yes, there were KTs with numbers on the rear turret, very unit specific though.
I will get a photo for you, but I feel your particular one represents a unit that would not have done it.

Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Numbers look excellent, the painted on look has always seemed better to me than decals IMHO.... I paint them on when I can. Brilliant work
Tanks alot....
Re: 1st generation rc king tiger
Another little upgrade ,the periscopes . The loaders one needs some work paint the rear of the perspex and fill the gap under the guard. Better have look at some walkarounds or photos. Thats 2 sets of scopes sorted another 3 to do when i am in the mood to do more fixes..
