Re: King Tiger 323 - Ready For War
You kept the chipping and rust minimal, just as I think it should be. The Konigstiger probably weren't in the field very long anyway. Now after the war ended, much more rust is likely.

Thanks Herr, I’ll probably do a Panther G or Jagdpanther next.
Re: King Tiger 323 - Ready For War
Wow, that's very nicely done, and photographing it with a white background really shows of the KT's lines. I especially like the under-hatch weathering, just the right amount of wear and tear on the handles. As a newbie to model painting your KT will give me something to aspire to.

I want to add a rear command antenna but I can’t find the base shield.

I have the antenna and base but can’t find the tube shield it sits in.

Re: King Tiger 323 - Ready For War
Perhaps you could get some Evergreen or Plastruct (or other brand) round stock from a local hobby store or online. I would just measure the overall diameter of the antenna mount and fine round stock of slightly larger inside diameter, cut it to the correct length ("eyeball" measurement) glue it on and paint it.
