King Tiger

Post by Woz »

Been a while since I've posted anything but my 2nd King Tiger is coming along (slowly).

Strengthened the hull, suspension, wheel shafts and beefed up the idle wheels.

Wheels and tracks fitted for testing.

Gearboxes fitted and plasticard added above the tracks.

All the running gear fitted and tested. The block of polystyrene is to add a bit of strength and makes the tank sound more solid. Also you can see the position of the on/off switch and volume control.

If I could afford to shop at Sainsburys I'd have a Tamiya.

Good Morning,
I think that is the first time I have ever read that in a post here: "removed the zimmerit" She is shaping up into a Beauty of a King Tiger. :o)
