New King Tiger I finished

[Jnewboy]

Heng long all the way except the gun mantlet is Tamiya. Its 334 from the Battle of the Bulge. Custom decals made for it (the "4" is wrong on the peddinghaus set). Its for a retired Special Opps guy I deeply respect.

Stay Thirsty My Friends!

Nicely done, not many builders see the differences in the style of the number '4' used on German armour, and there has been much debate about which style was used, and why.

Very nice

Very nice looking Tiger.

That looks fantastic! We'll done sir.

I'm not usually a fan of the King Tiger, but that's spectacular work; really something special. It looks like it's shrugged off everything the Allies have been able to throw at it, and it's ready for more. Nice!

Thanks guys, this tank was knocked out in the battle but the photos are hard to say if it was from enemy fire or mechanical failure or lack of gas. It does look like there was an explosion but that could be due to the crew destroying it.



This is a good shot of that "4", its always important to at least get the right font! Haha! Not to mention fade ratio in comparison to the rest of the paint.

Awesome job on it! Iagree with you about fonts... I see many that Are inaccurate.

Yes you are right, there are, that and the color is also very wrong sometimes. It may look good on the screen but once printed its bad. I paint them or print my own. I know a VERY talented guy that does all my custom orders for decals and uses one of the old rare machines that actually can print white.
