Torro KingTiger Unboxing

Post by Merlin707 »

Happy New Year all.

I thought I'd start this year by sharing the unboxing of my new Torro King Tiger.
It is the new version with IR, black steel gears & 360 turret rotation in desert paintscheme.

I think I will be doing a what if Afrika Korps KT with this.

I'm amazed with the size of this in comparison to my Tiger, it's got quite a presence to it when it's parked next to my other tanks and pretty much dwarves my Sherman.

Merlin!
Great unboxing, thank you. Yes, the King Tiger has a presence. Of that, there is no doubt. This specimen looks pretty sweet right out of the very nice box. Lots of metal add-ons that will save you cash in the long run. Your hand picked crew looks very pleased.
regards,
Painless

Thanks for the comments guys, yes my crew is very happy.

Horses & John I spent ages looking for some decent 1/18 guys I could use in all my tanks, it's just a shame you can't find a decent American crew so I can crew my sherman.

Painless yes I'm glad for all the metal upgrades it comes with, the weight is massive in comparison to my taigen tiger.
I've still a lot to do and many more upgrades to purchase but it's a decent starting block.

Hi Alpha thanks, now you mention it I could always get a Porsche turret for it then I can have both variants of the KT and just use the one hull.

Hope you have a great new year too.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM :think: ... not sure that can work Merlin...there's a slight difference in the Porsche tiger's turret mounting ;) ...How about a KV2 turret with a JS2 barrel...a true Monster would be created ;) ...... :D

Oh well I'm just happy with the Henschel.
Already ordered some more upgrade parts for it :)
Bought some paint pens too to hand do the numerics and crosses.
