Vintage Tamiya Porsche King Tiger.
Hi there.
This the beginning of a new project. I bought this tank to a friend. It will stay static and will serve to be recovered by my bergepanther.
For moment, I start again all wheels, because these was glued by the first builder before my friend buy this tank. It was a hard work, but all wheels works now...
I have glued a zimmerit kit from Atak.
I removed all the old paint job with a great liquid product who does not damage steel, aluminium, plastic and glue, but destroy the layers of paint very faster.
Cutting and deformation of schurtzens.
2 differents anti mine mesh kits for rear deck.
Cutting right front fender.
Muzzle brake cover.

Thanks for your messages guys.
This Tiger behind my bergepanther is just an oversize load...
Nobody go to Saumur june 8-9 ? Some models will be display, with the others models of friends during the annual model show.
I know it is the 75s commemorations of d-day, but this year I will go in Normandy only in summer.
