The KT is one of my favourite looking tanks. (Still not my #1, but is up there...)

Looking forwards to seeing the completed version!

Hey guys would a Torro King Tiger upper hull and turret fit a HENG- Long lower chassis. I have a extra Taigen v2 sound setup and I was going to put that in my king tiger and get a ir version with barrel recoil upper hull?

Ive been toying with the same idea, however my plane was just to have an IR turret and and BB turret set up. Not sure if the Taigen hull will match up perfectly without and modifications.

Make sure you buy the Trumpeter Atak zimmermit not the Tamiya as it may have slots for the tracks as Tamiya has the hangers moulded into the spare tracks for the turret.

The Taigen/Torro upper hull should fit the Heng Long without much fuss. Until fairly recently, many of the Taigen tanks had hulls that were virtually interchangeable with their Heng Long counterparts. :thumbup:

Great start, did you use any special glue to attach the zimmerit?
