Well a bit more progress all three KTs are at the same level and have been sealed with two Coates of flat varnish including shading on wheels and rear panel and sealing with two Coates of flat varnish, The hulls have had two Coates of Dark Yellow on now and are no longer flat black,although now being a lighter color on close inspection 15 suspension arms are cracked and will need replacing, The tracks have 3 Coates on and just need weathering,So if a good day tommorow I will start the camo. Regards Andy

I like the way you are giving them a different look, (missing fenders). Take it slow.

Good morning,
I stepped over and took a couple of quick shots of the HL Porsche King Tiger and it seems that mine is the same way. I've never noticed any issue running it. I think that when it comes time for this one to be rebuilt, I will file and sand off about half of the vertical thickness of those fenders for scale appearance and to make a little room.
regards,
Painless
